The Reformation provides a richly illustrated and engagingly written overview of the amazing time of change and renewal in the Christian Church during the 16th century and helps the reader sort through the complex chain of events that shook both church and state to their very foundations. The historical photos and facts bear witness to the earth-changing events and players in the "theological century" - including the famous Martin Luther and Henry VIII, but also encompassing the other fascinating and perhaps lesser-known personalities of the Reformation era. This book, celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Reformation, is designed to be prominently featured on a coffee table or bookshelf as a conversation starter.
