Most Christians understand the Reformation from only one perspective. Professor Karl Adam gives a historically sensitive and accurate analysis of the causes of the Reformation that stands as a valid and sometimes unsettling challenge to the presuppositions of Protestants and Catholics alike. This valuable resource is a powerful summary of the issues that led to the Reformation and their implications today.
This is a very short work of 84 pages. The introduction states that too often books on the Reformation are polemical and biased. Karl Adams' work is historically sensitive. It gives valid analysis of what caused the reformation and it challenges the presuppositions of both Protestants and Catholics.
