Media Reviews
Alister McGrath... is one of the best scholars and teachers of the Reformation... [this book] is more than one dared ask for... How teachers will rejoice in this wonderfully useful book. Teaching History (of a previous edition). Vigorous, brisk and highly stimulating. The reader will be thoroughly engaged from the outset, and considerably enlightened at the end. John Platt, Pembroke College, University of Oxford (of a previous edition). Highly recommended. Choice (of a previous edition). A remarkably fine introduction to the study of the Reformation and its theological ideas; it is exceptionally well thought out, fully up to date in its scholarship, fair in its presentation, and simply pellucid in its explanations. Highly recommended. ADRIS (of a previous edition). ...this second edition of Reformation Tought is very useful, especially in providing a guide to reformation writings and writers (both primary and secondary) for the upper-division or beginning student of Reformation ideas. Elwood E. Mather III, Montana State University. McGrath does a good job of summarizing the Reformation's principal ideas. Reformation Thought is a helpful primer and a genuine counterbalance to polemical Catholic treatments, excessively irenical ecumenical assessments, and secular renditions that minimize or ignore the power of theological ideas to revolutionize a culture.
