6The sixteenth century in Europe was a tumultuous time. Monumental inventions like the printing press rocked society as huge philosophical shifts caused by Copernicus split the scientific world. But just as important was the seismic upheaval within Christendom herself, as the Church of Rome responded to internal rebuke with oppression. In thirty short biographies, Heralds of the Reformation tells the important story of the struggle between the theological authorities and the men and women who refused to keep quiet about the sheer grace of the Gospel. Designed for students young and old, this book also includes: + a Reformation Overview of key events and authorities, + a detailed Timeline of the pivotal years from 1516 to 1598, + seven short summaries of Reformation Basics, + and Comprehension Questions and Answers covering all thirty biographies.
