The beginning the sixteenth century brought growing pressure within the Western Church for Reformation. The popes could not hold Western Christendom together and there was confusion about Church reform. What some believed to be abuses, others found acceptable. Nevertheless over the years three aims emerged: to reform the exactions of churchmen, to correct errors of doctrines and to improve the moral awareness of society. As a result, Western Europe divided into a Catholic South and Protestant North. Across the no man's land between them were fought the bitterest wars of religion in Christian historyThis third volume of 'The Penguin History of the Church' deals with the formative work of Erasmus, Luther, Zwingli and Calvin, and analyses the special circumstances of the English Reformation as well as the Jesuits and the Counter-Reformation Owen Chadwick stands out as the trustsed authority on Reformation history. Not only is his scholorly knowledge outlined with enough precision to impress any aspiring historian, but Chadwick also manages to convey the facts with a level of underlying passion.,Book annotation not available for this title.Title: The ReformationAuthor: Chadwick, OwenPublisher: Penguin Group USAPublication Date: 1990/05/01Number of Pages: Binding Type: PAPERBACKLibrary of Congress: BL 99784652 Covering the whole of the Reformation, plus the Counter Reformation, in a small book is always going to be a challenge - this book covers the topic adequately, but it's quite England-centric. It was interesting to see the author covering (briefly) the Spanish activities in South America. One thing I learnt: the reason that Portuguese is spoken in Brazil and Spanish in the rest of South America is due to a line drawn on a map by a pope - the Spanish got west of the line, the Portuguese the east. One thing I read but not sure I agree: that the Calvinist were against organs in churches; not sure then there are so many organs in the Calvinist churches in the Netherlands. For a small paperback, this is a quite in depth history of the church. This is volume 3, which deals with The Reformation and Counter Reformation. There is no question that this is a significant time for Christianity. This is the beginning of Protestantism and the Catholic Church's religious response. Do people really read things like this? I do. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

But, as I said, very nicely written, and good on the ideas of the main figures. ( )
