Masters of the English Reformation (Thomas Bilney, William Tyndale, Hugh Latimer, Nicholas Ridley and Thomas Cramner) is both a serious study and also a gripping narrative, ably told. It springs from convictions shared deeply by the author and his five subjects, so that his respect - almost, his affection for these men shines across the centuries. It is one of those books which communicates the writers enthusiasm to the reader, page by page.
