Lewis W. Spitz
The writings collected in The Protestant Reformation reveal a great religious movement in all the turbulence and thrust of the conflicting ideologies espoused by its major figures. From the personal letters, addresses, treatises, and public confessions of Erasmus, Luther, Calvin, Servetus, and Zwingli, among others, there emerges a dramatic account of a church - and and age - in crisis. Placed in perspective by the editor's introductory essay, these selections provide a spiritual biography of the sixteenth century, embodying both major forces of the time: the discontent with conditions in the Church and the yearning for a radically new spiritual rebirth.
