The Reformation World (Paperback, New edition)

This beautifully illustrated book is the most ambitious one-volume survey of the Reformation yet attempted. A timely and much-needed account, it looks at every aspect of the Reformation world and considers new historical research which has led to the expansion of the subject both thematically and geographically.

Topics included are:
* the Church before the Reformation
* Luther and Germany
* the Reformation outside Germany
* Calvinism and the Second Reformation
* the Reformation and society
* arts and architecture
* the printed book and visual media.
