The Reformation in Germany Summary
The Reformation in Germany Reviews
The book shows the capability of the author to analyze and summarise brilliantly a complex historical process and a vast field of specialist research ... and as a textbook on the German Reformation for students, it really fills a gap in the English book market. Thomas Brockmann, University of Bayreuth
In compact, lucid style, the author presents an impressive interpretation of the events, personalities, and issues that shaped the religious upheaval in Germany...Those who study and teach Reformation history will find this volume an excellent guide. Peter J. Klassen, California State University, Fresno
It is a useful textbook, as the author writes authoritatively on the subject, and successfully summarizes complex arguments, bringing together a disparate body of material into a comprehensible and interesting account. Phillip Broadhead, Goldsmiths' College, London - English Historical Review, Vol. 118
An impressive work of synthesis. Ecclesiastical History
