Book Description
Excerpt from The Arrested Reformation There are many books which deal with the Reformation, as well as many about the Romish controversy. There are few, however, which deal with the Arrest of the Reformation from the strictly practical standpoint and in view of the present necessity. It is believed there is need for one which has for its burden throughout the answer to the inquiry: How can the work of the Reformation be completed? How can Rome be won for the Evangel? In apologizing for the Reformers' neglect of Foreign Missions, a failure which had so much to do with the arrest of the good work they began, it has been argued that they believed that the end of the world was at hand, and that the nations had made their choice - as, indeed, in a sense they had. But the end was not then, nor is it yet. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Author: The Freedom of the Christian
Author: Martin LutherPublisher: New Reformation Publications

Pages : 41
Book Description
The Freedom of the Christian was Martin Luther's first public defense of the doctrine of justification by grace through faith on account of Christ alone. Luther's explosive rediscovery of the Gospel of Jesus Christ shattered the Church of Rome's foundation of works, which considered good works a part of salvation instead of a result of it. Here, Luther constructed a rich theology that relies on the full power of the Gospel, which not only grants saving faith but also nurtures that faith through good works done in the freest service. This new abridged translation from Adam Francisco, featuring a brief essay from Scott Keith, leaves no doubt that the Christian, secure in Christ, is truly free—free from sin, death, and the devil, and free to serve their neighbor.
The Reformation
Author: Diarmaid MacCullochPublisher: Penguin
ISBN: 1101563958
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 1248
Book Description
The Reformation and Counter-Reformation represented the greatest upheaval in Western society since the collapse of the Roman Empire a millennium before. The consequences of those shattering events are still felt today—from the stark divisions between (and within) Catholic and Protestant countries to the Protestant ideology that governs America, the world’s only remaining superpower. In this masterful history, Diarmaid MacCulloch conveys the drama, complexity, and continuing relevance of these events. He offers vivid portraits of the most significant individuals—Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Loyola, Henry VIII, and a number of popes—but also conveys why their ideas were so powerful and how the Reformation affected everyday lives. The result is a landmark book that will be the standard work on the Reformation for years to come. The narrative verve of The Reformation as well as its provocative analysis of American culture’s debt to the period will ensure the book’s wide appeal among history readers.

Pages : 344
Book Description
This fascinating collection of primary source documents furnishes the accounts—in their own words—of those who initiated, advanced, or lived through the Reformation. Starting in 1500, Europe transformed from a united Christendom into a continent bitterly divided between Catholicism and Protestantism by the end of the century. This illuminating text reveals what happened during that period by presenting the social, religious, economic, political, and cultural life of the European Reformation of the 16th century in the words of those who lived through it. Detailed and comprehensive, the work includes 60 primary source documents that shed light on the character, personalities, and events of that time and provides context, questions, and activities for successfully incorporating these documents into academic research and reading projects. A special section provides guidelines for better evaluating and understanding primary documents. Topics include late medieval religion, Martin Luther, reformation in Germany and the Peasants' War, the rise of Calvinism, and the English Reformation.
