With the skill of a scholar and the art of a storyteller, Michael Reeves has written what is, quite simply, the best brief introduction to the Reformation I have read. If you've been looking for a book to help you understand the Reformation, or just to begin to study church history, this little book brings history to life * Mark Dever * A lively and up-to-date account of this important period in Christian history that will stir the heart, refresh the soul, and direct the mind towards a deeper understanding of our faith. * Gerald Bray, Research Professor, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University * This book is the best concise introduction to the Reformation for students and laypeople who are new to the issues. Reeves portrays the spirit of the Reformation with grittiness, verve, and humour. The book aims to be clear, readable, and accessible, and it makes intriguing theological and historical connections. This book makes one want to read more about the Reformation; the spirit of the Reformation lives on in this text, but it is only an appetizer. Further reading is suggested at the end of the book, and hopefully many readers will read on. * Peter Sanlon *
