Customer Reviews

Fascinating...helpful
If you're doing the Reformation for A level, or if you're just interested in this incredibly important time, then BUY THIS BOOK. It's very short, but covers lots of ground in just a hundred or so pages. Everything is lucid and clear, and the personalities are well defined. Some potentially woolly theology is put across on a level that everyone can understand, but I never had the feeling I was being patronised. Interesting, helpful - and left me wanting to know more. Highly recommended.
