Publisher's Synopsis
Following the Lord's Resurrection, the Protestant Reformation was, arguably, the most pivotal and significant event in Christian history. Theologically, it was a glorious revival of Augustinian theology. Organizationally, it shattered and splintered the once monolithic Christian Church into countless groups. Historically, it gave birth to many Protestant denominations that survive to the present day. What histories of the Reformation do not often consider is the profound effect it had on Catholicism. While Martin Luther is the most familiar name associated with the Reformation, there were many others who were as brave, unforgettable, and colorful on both sides of the controversy.
