Today, almost 500 years later, the Protestant Reformation of the 1500s continues to reverberate throughout the corridors of history. The United States was founded, to a large extant, by Protestants, especially Calvinists. Christianity is the largest religion in the world - over 2,000,000,000 - and half of those are non-Roman Catholic. The Protestant Work Ethic, a gift from John Calvin and the Reformed Church, helped give America a competitive edge in commerce. Resistance movements and revolutions have pointed to Reformation writings that say, basically, that if leaders aren't following God's Will, they can be replaced. Nascent experiments in democracy first stirred in Geneva during the Reformation there in the 1500s. This book will examine the Top 25 of the Reformers, as well as two forerunners to the Reformation. It is roughly divided between the four great movements that came out of Reformation of the 1500s - the Lutherans, the Reformed Church, the Anglican Church and the Anabaptists. The book includes 47 illustrations.
