Reformation Myths Zusammenfassung

Reformation Myths: Five Centuries of Misconceptions and (Some) Misfortunes Rodney Stark

An entertaining and enlightening expose of over-inflated claims about the Reformation and what it has done for us, written by a Pulitzer Prize shortlisted historian of international standing. Containing scathing indictments of popular historical distortions and misrepresentations of the birth and legacy of Protestantism in the West, the book is a welcome antidote to all the triumphalist books on the Reformation flooding the market this year.
