description: This book consists of a series of statements from men and women dating between 1501 to 1559. These statements illustrate the ideas, beliefs, and somtimes the fates, of the people who had come to share a profound discontent with the church as it then existed and a positive determination to change it. Writings Erasmus and Hutten the humanists, Luther and Melanchthon, Zwingli, Sattler the Anabaptist, Servetus the Unitarian, Calvin the theologian and lawgiver, and the English reformers, a special breed -- from the rabble-rousing Fish to Cromwell the administrator, Starkey the moderate, the King and the Archbishop of Canterbury. Spitz provides historical and theological context for each document and a reading list for further exploration.
