The Continental Reformation (1913)

By Beresford James Kidd

Book Overview

The Continental Reformation, written by B. J. Kidd and originally published in 1913, is a historical account of the religious and cultural changes that took place in Europe during the 16th century. The book examines the Protestant Reformation, which began in Germany with Martin Luther's 95 Theses in 1517, and spread throughout Europe, challenging the authority of the Catholic Church and leading to the formation of new Protestant denominations.Kidd's book provides an in-depth analysis of the key figures and events of the Continental Reformation, including Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli, as well as the political and social context in which the movement emerged. The author also explores the impact of the Reformation on European society, including the rise of nationalism, the growth of literacy and education, and the development of modern capitalism.Throughout the book, Kidd emphasizes the importance of the Continental Reformation in shaping the modern world, arguing that it paved the way for the Enlightenment, the Scientific Revolution, and the emergence of modern democracy. The Continental Reformation is a comprehensive and engaging work of scholarship that remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Europe and the development of modern Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
