Description
For more than five centuries, Protestant Reformation has contributed to the emergence of modern societies and the development of nations. Although Protestantism has taken many shapes—traditional Puritanism, Charism, Pietism and revolutionary acts— they all originated from one common root. In Histoire de la réforme protestante, Bernard Cottret faithfully retraces the history of Protestant Reformation, highlighting its founding moments, works and figures—Martin Luther, John Calvin and John Wesley. From Wittenberg to Geneva, from England to the New World, Protestant Reformation affirmed itself as a unique and powerful movement, which is still evolving today.
