Seller's Description:
Good. 40 pages of chapters on Luther and Calvin notated, marked in margins, and underlined. name stamp on 1st page. cover and page corners bent and worm cover faded and aged with rub marks, dents, and scratches. edge shadow and wear. 2 volume set. 314 pages, 9 1/4"x 6", The Age of Reformation witnessed a powerful resurgence of evangelical faith and a profound spiritual revolution that affected all the peoples of Europe and of the New World. "When God sends forth his Word, " Luther declared, "It moves with power." The men of the Reformation were intensely preoccupied with the life of the inner man. "The Gospel is not preached so that we may only hear it, " Calvin explained, "but so that it may as a seed of immortal life altogether reform our hearts." But their religious Reformation had a tremendous impact also upon the life of man in society. The Reformation era was a time of social unrest, of crises, civil wars, assassination and massacres. Europe experienced a long dynastic struggle between the Hapsburgs and Valois, the spread of Protestantism and the revivification of a great Church, the emergence of England as a major power, and a deadly duel between Catholic Spain and Protestant England for vantage at sea and the prizes of Empire. But amidst all the turmoil, wars, and rumors of wars, western man achieved some of the greatest literary, philosophical, theological, musical, geographical, and scientific triumphs and discoveries which history has to record, So much of that history is still alive within us and has so directly helped to make us what we are that a knowledge of the Reformation movement is essential to our own self-understanding.
