The Reformation of the Sixteenth Century

---

This volume is designed specifically 'for the general educated reader'. Here are great figures of the Reformation: Luther, Zwingli, Calvin, Knox, and Cramer. Here are great events: the Diet of Worms, the Institution of the Holy Commonwealth of Geneva, Henry VIII's break with Rome, William the Silent's struggle for Dutch independence. Here are great doctrines that created or grew out of the Protestant revolt: justification by faith, predestination, the priesthood of all believers, the authority of the Scriptures as against that of ecclesiastical decrees, freedom of conscience, and the separation of church and state. Figures, events, and doctrines are made part of an absorbing story of what was a powerful movement that flowered in the sixteenth century from primary centers in Germany and Switzerland out across northern and western Europe. "Would that we had more history like this, so well proportioned in its emphasis, and so pertinent to the understanding of history now in the making."—The Annals of the American Academy
