Writings Erasmus and Hutten the humanists, Luther and Melanchthon, Zwingli, Sattler the Anabaptist, Servetus the Unitarian, Calvin the theologian and lawgiver, and the English reformers, a special breed -- from the rabble-rousing Fish to Cromwell the administrator, Starkey the moderate, the King and the Archbishop of Canterbury.
