Description

The 16th century Reformation was a most important and interesting event in human history. It was a revolution on the grandest scale with religious, political, and economic effects still with us today. This is a modernized version of Benjamin Allen’s classic 1820 book on the subject – essentially translating the work into current English to improve its readability and understandability. Benjamin Allen (1789-1829) was an American church minister, scholar, and publisher. He died at sea aged 39. History of the Reformation was his best-known publication. The book abridged Gilbert Burnet’s massive account of the English Reformation published over a century earlier.
