Review:

"Vigorous, brisk and highly stimulating. The reader will be throughly engaged from the outset, and considerably enligtened at the end. " Dr. John Platt, Pembroke College, Oxford.

"A remarkably fine introduction to the study of the Reformation and its theological ideas; it is exceptionally well thought out, fully up to date in its scholarship, fair in is presentation, and simply pellucid in its explanantion. Highly recommended." ADRIS.
