Features: "The Reformation: Luther, Calvin, and the Protestants": "You actually call inciting mutual slaughter, devouring, and plundering, with no regard for restraint, the behavior of the Catholic Church? You actually call desecration, murder, theft, and plunder the Reformation? The saints said that Jesus Christ would never want his disciples to preach armed, so God would never want such a sacred religion to be mixed with so much vicious behavior." Jean de Montluc, Bishop of Valence, 1563. This book vividly depicts the scenes of the European Christian Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, helping readers understand the history of the birth and development of Christianity.
