The Reformation: What you need to know and why: summary, description and annotation
We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "The Reformation: What you need to know and why" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.
While Wittenberg in 1517 is often regarded as the start of the Reformation, the earliest-recorded heretik died in Scotland more than a hundred years earlier. Part l offers a fast-paced storyline of the whole period.
This book does not celebrate a schism. It sets forth biblical truth, and the part each of us must play in passing that truth on to the next generation. If the church is to be effective, we must believe and confess the gospel, obey it and adorn it, proclaim it and argue it, defend it, and be willing to suffer for it.
What of Christs prayer for Christians to be one? Would it be better to ignore, even forget the Reformation? If we look more closely at that prayer, we may be surprised by what we find.

Cover design by John Ruffin
To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ.... I felt I had to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints
Jude, servantand earthly brotherof Jesus Christ (v. 3)
That one sentence did so exhilarate my heart, which had been so wounded with guilt for my sins, that immediately I felt a marvellous comfort and assurance. That Scripture is more pleasant to me than a honeycomb.
Thomas Bilney , early Cambridge Reformer, on justification by grace through faith
The Reformers loved not their lives even unto death, so that we could receive the precious and eternal gospel intact. In this age of amnesia, relativism and superficiality, we must hold fast to this same gospel, and pass it on. For we too walk in that triumphant procession of Gods prophets and apostles, spurred on by a great cloud of witnesses.
Cambodian Christians went through their own Neronian persecution, under Pol Pot. They always knew themselves to be a counter-culture, and that to follow Christ would mean being crucified by a sinful world and cruciformed by a holy God.
Don Cormack , author of Killing Fields, Living Fields: An Unfinished Portrait of the Cambodian Church
In so modest a volume only the barest story may be contained of the remarkable work of grace which played out in the bravest of lives. Each name below merits a book chapter of its own, as does the life and death of each martyr not included here. The inclusion of several leading figures not appearing elsewhere in this book is to invite readers further exploration.
