The Great Reformation: A Great Mistake (1912)

By Everett Pomeroy

Book Overview

The Great Reformation: A Great Mistake is a historical book written by Everett Pomeroy, first published in 1912. The book offers a critical analysis of the Protestant Reformation, a significant event in European history that began in the 16th century. Pomeroy argues that the Reformation, which led to the fragmentation of the Christian church, was a great mistake that caused more harm than good. He presents a comprehensive account of the events leading up to the Reformation, including the corruption of the Catholic Church, the rise of Protestantism, and the ensuing religious conflicts. Pomeroy also explores the social and political implications of the Reformation, including the impact on education, art, and literature. Throughout the book, he challenges the traditional view of the Reformation as a positive and necessary step towards religious freedom and progress. Instead, he argues that it was a misguided movement that ultimately led to intolerance, violence, and division. The Great Reformation: A Great Mistake is a thought-provoking and controversial book that offers a unique perspective on one of the most significant events in Western history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
