Elton meticulously takes the reader through the principal reformers (Luther, Zwingli, the radicals and Calvin) and the response of the Catholic Church. He also centers attention on Charles V in his struggles to push back Protestantism and preserve the Holy Roman Empire. It is a well-written narrative that grips the reader’s interest. ( ) A very readable book on the early phases of the Reformation in Europe in the 16th century. Elton pulls together all of the political, sociological and theological elements of the time to describe the influences on and of the two primary theological leaders Martin Luther and John Calvin, as well as the main political leader of the time Charles V. In summary (as per the chapters) the book covers: 1. Martin Luther and his attack on the Church of Rome; 1. The world of Charles V; 3 to 5. The progress of Lutheranism, how it was helped by the political situation, how it also encouraged more radical views, and the influence on the various parts of Europe; 6. the progress towards Protestantism; 7. the ineffectual response of the Roman Church (counter-reformation and rise of the Jesuits); 8. John Calvin, how it affected the Reformation, and the spread of Calvinism; 9. War and Peace in Europe, and the effective end of the Holy Roman Empire; 10. The effect of the Reformation on society - politics, art, literature, learning; and on the rest of the world. Elton is quite opinionated, being firm yet polite in his put-down of the views of others. One can sense a little of the character of his nephew Ben in his manner (although I have only heard/seen Ben Elton, and not read him). sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
