A fast moving, engaging survey of the Reformation era

Most history books do a sterling job of giving you a long list of names and places, but that doesn't necessarily translate into good reading. What I like about this volume is that it captures some of the tension and excitement of the first 50 years of the Protestant Reformation. And the author has made a convincing argument that this era could be better described as an era of theological reformations rather than just one reformation per se. And I found it fascinating how bitterly divided many of the Reformers were with one another and with how each individual country experienced theological reformation in different ways. I had great admiration for the convictions of Martin Luther at the same time as I had deep misgivings over his tendency toward divisiveness. I had great respect for the mind of Calvin and the tenacity of William Tyndale and the godliness and perseverance of Michale Sattler.Another thing that astonished me as I read through this volume was how many reformers died early on in the reformation and at such a young age. reading about how many reformers were tortured or burned at the stake made my heart heavy with regret. A very thought provoking survey of a tumultuous period of history.
