Index.

Appold has presented us with an introduction to Reformation history that is brief, clear, up-to-date, and blessedly free of exaggerations. […] Those who take up Reformation history today should begin here.” (Tom A Brady
jr., University of California, Berkley, 1 January 2013)

“Anyone interested in a brief history of Reformation theology would do well to read this book first to review the historical context of the debates surrounding [it] … I was sorry when it came to an end. Fascinated by the brief historical account it offered, I was left wanting more. I highly recommend it.” (Theology Today, 19 September 2012)

This engaging book provides a fairly thorough synthesis of much of the historical writing on this period.” &l,
