Description :
The Reformation in 16th-century Europe is a remarkable account of sweeping social change, compelling personalities, intense theological disputes, and painful conflict. Yet it is also a story in which God’s unseen hand can be traced, drawing the church back to His Word, the gospel of Jesus Christ, and a renewed understanding of grace and salvation.
This is a story marked by God’s guidance, the strength and weakness of human nature, and the lasting influence of events that took place five centuries ago. Readers will discover how the Reformation shaped later world history and continues to affect us today in both positive and negative ways.
“In The Reformation, Robert Solomon provides us with what is surely one of the best popular surveys of the Reformation era available in English. One can see that Robert Solomon, who has also led excursions to the lands of Reformation Europe, is an apt judge of what the inquisitive reader needs to know in surveying this era.”
~ Dr Kenneth J Stewart
Emeritus Professor of Theological Studies,
Covenant College

“Carefully researched and full of rich detail, the book also includes helpful visual illustrations. Any student of Church History would find this book immensely helpful and I unhesitatingly recommend it.”
~ Rev Dr Chiang Ming Shun
