In this work, D'Aubigne brings to life the start of the Reformation in Europe. To do so, he goes back to the pre-papal days of the catholic church and traces how it became distorted by those who sought power and honor. Reading more like a novel than a book of history, we are with Luther as he is awakened to the gospel, as he is tried, and as he is used to spread the Reformation in Germany. Likewise with Zwingle as he is used to proclaim the gospel in Switzerland. Finally, D'Aubigne takes us to England, beginning with the primitive church in the British isles then providing a brief history of how it became a captive of the Papacy. My only complaint with the book was the amount of detail given to the attempt by Henry VIII to secure divorce. While an important part of the Reformation in England, more attention could have been given to other events. In all, a highly recommended book.
