A Tour Through Turbulent Times
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Lewis Spitz provides an accessible and accurate introduction to the Reformation in this suprisingly complete but easy-to-read book. In it he distills his lifetime of research into this period, providing the reader, both seasoned scholar and rank beginner, with a helpful overview of the persons and events of the half century he describes. His sections on the Continental Reformation shine particularly brightly. Although almost twenty years old now, it remains pre-eminent in its field. Its age means that it does not take into account more recent scholarship, but it still provides a tour de force when it comes to examining this turbulent period.
It was wonderful
