First published in 1882, T. M.
Lindsay’s Hand Book on the Reformation
is still one of the best summaries of
the sixteenth century Reformation
available. Understanding the
Reformation to be a revival of
religion, the author maintains that it
cannot be successfully described unless
this, its essential character, is kept
distinctly in view. Here is a thrilling
record of the triumph of the Gospel in
Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland,
France, the Netherlands, Scotland, and
England in short compass. The final
section of the book explains the
principles that governed the movement
for reform. Also contains a valuable
chronological summary. .
