He gives sufficient information to peak interest, but does not dive too deeply into debates and arguments from scholars. I would categorize the tone of the book as something akin to \u201csarcastic storytelling,\u201d and have to admit that it is very appealing! The story is engaging, there is both suspense and humor, and the broad picture of the Reformation Era is very helpful!<\/p>\n<p>For a full review click on the title above.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you: interested in church history? a lover of a good story coming from\u00a0a catholic or lutheran background confused on what \u201cProtestant\u201d or \u201cEvangelical\u201d actually means Than I would highly recommend this book: Reeves, Michael.
