Review # 1 was written on 2016-04-07 00:00:00 Kitty Hopkins I would have rate this higher as the biographies are interesting and good for a biography-based study of history, but it's so one-sided! No women and only one Catholic, besides the artists, Thomas More. I know the title says it's about the Reformation, but just presenting people on the Protestant side gives a very lopsided and inaccurate view of history. God was at work in the whole church of the time in men and women like Teresa of Avila, Catherine of Siena, John of the Cross, Francis de Sales, Ignatius of Loyal, Thomas Aquinas, Julian of Norwich, Hildegard of Bingen and the popes who helped reform the Catholic Church. What a shame some children get such a biased view of history.

Review # 2 was written on 2018-11-25 00:00:00 Hai Nguyen Anh A helpful overview of the major contributing figures to the Protestant reformation. Famous Men of the Renaissance and Reformation includes biographies on Petrarch, Leonardo da Vince, Sandro Botticelli and others from the Renaissance and Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Knox, John Wycliffe, William Tyndale and others from the Reformation. Recommended for an adequate overview of some of the significant figures of these time periods.
