The European Reformation jellemzők

Initiated in 1517 by the radical German monk Martin Luther, the Reformation would reshape Europe not only religiously but also politically. In this masterful and eminently accessible account Vivian Green looks at the main personalities, events and ideas of this ferment of change, revealing the medieval background to many of the leading ideas of the Reformation, and considering the long-term legacy of radicalism and individualism which it created. This book will be essential reading for all those interested in religious history and the foundations of modern Europe.
