The Greatest Century of Reformation gives the broad sweep of the unforgetable characters and momentous events that made the 16th Century the greatest century of Reformation. By focusing on the personalities and activities that God used, this book aims to inspire, inform and involve the readers in a hunger for Revival and Reformation in our own day. The book begins with a fast moving overview of the dramatic events and geo-strategic conflicts involved in the 16th Century, then it takes a good look at the pre-Reformers, the Waldensians, Wycliffe and Hus. There are chapters on each of the great Reformers Luther, Zwingli, Tyndale, Farel, Calvin, Cranmer, Viret, Bullinger, Melanchthon and Bucer. There are also chapters on the politicians behind the English Reformation, the martyers of the Reformation, how the Reformation changed the church, how the Reformation changed the world, and Luther's Practical Programme to Revive Your Prayer Life.
