What caused Luther, Calvin, and others to set in motion the Reformation--and what are the consequences, both then and now? Is the 500-year-old breach between Rome and the Protestant church still necessary today? Does the Reformation even matter anymore? The Reformation, Then and Now is a compendium of articles--gathered from the pages of Modern Reformation magazine--that illuminate the history and impact of the Protestant Reformation over the past 500 years. Although the questions above don't have easy answers, over forty articles written by some of the most trusted voices across the Reformation spectrum offer readers a historical and spiritual walk through the Reformation by addressing the cause, the characters, and the consequences. -- Amazon.com.
