i am very encouraged by this work. it is down to earth but also faithful to scholarship. the storytelling is excellent but full of balance and insight. Reeves is unapologetically evangelical which is what I wanted but generous in his portrayals of catholic views.

awesome work

Others here have written much better reviews than I would ever have the time or gifts to write, so let me just say that this was a very entertaining Audible "read". I read this book to get a better understanding of the history of the church, but what I found most meaningful about this book is its central theme of justification through faith alone. Again and again, we are introduced to historical characters like Luther and Calvin whose consciences would not let them rest in their good deeds alone. They were unable to suppress the truth with unrighteousness. God's Spirit was at work in their hearts and their minds, and they could not rest until they found a basis for true reconciliation, and peace with God.

We throw around the term "the gospel" often without thinking these days. The gospel can mean many things, but if it does not at its core mean a foreign righteousness granted to us by nothing else than faith in Christ's perfect completed works, then everything else is meaningless.

This book is a great read if you want to get a better understanding of the history of the church. As well, this book is a fantastic read if your Christian walk has begun to meander, if you feel that you may have become lost somewhere along the way. In short - this book is a great "read" if you desire to once again, understand how the abstract theological concept of justification changed the world during the Reformation, and how this abstract concept can still transform your life, and the topsy-turvy world around us even today.

I loved the way he explained each of the characters involved in the Reformation. I understand more why we need to break down doctrine and have people like the author who study long and hard to prove or disprove. It helps with my own personal understanding so I can study the doctrine of each man involved and discern the truth over lies.

Michael Reeves is wonderful at explanation of the Reformation and the players that brought it to light.

If you're looking for a good historical review of the Reformation and its consequences, this ain't it.
This book reads like a hortatorial sermon. Christians may find inspiration here, but students and historians will not find it useful. The narrator is breathless and hammy in that artificial way of a fanboy trying to drum up interest. Just a failure all around.
