Reformation Heroes (Joel R. Beeke, Diana Kleyn)

Reformation Heroes

Beautifully illustrated page after page by artist Caffy Whitney, and printed on glossy paper in an attractive large 8.5″ x 11″ format. Reformation Heroes is a high-quality, beautiful gift book that is also useful as a history text and with study helps.

The Reformation did not happen instantaneously.  God, in His wise and patient design, brought it to pass over a number of years. As you read this book, you will learn how the Lord used some people to plant the seeds of church reform long before October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther published his ninety-five theses. Luther’s story is well-known; in this volume you can learn about him and forty others – such as John Knox, Peter Martyr Vermigli, Zacharias Ursinus, and Willem Teellinck.  Each of these contributed to the Reformation.  Some are well known, others little-known.  But all of them are Reformation heroes.

To provide a more full picture of the many sided Reformation, chapters are also included on the Anabaptist and Counter Reformation movements. The book concludes with a brief summary of the influence of the Reformation in different areas of life.
