Synopsis

500 years ago, Europe went through one of the most remarkable and turbulent periods of its history as the lines of political and theological power were re-written both in ways nuanced, subtle and philosophical, and in bloody massacre and destruction. Published to coincide with the 500th anniversary of John Calvin's birth, this absorbing and insightful book offers a deep and engaging analysis of events that still echo loudly in today's world. Featuring a re-analysis of Calvin and current understandings of the word 'Calvinist' this great book represents the culmination of many years extensive work. "Reformation" is acclaimed hournalist, writer and historian Harry Reid's magnum opus. Absorbing and insightful, this book offers a deep and engaging analysis of events that still echo loudly today.
