I'll tell you what, my FRiend. I hope you will read a history book written from a perspective that is more sympathetic to the Catholic perspective before you draw the conclusions you are making at this time. Actually, I hope you will read a variety of books written from both perspectives. There is a lot of propaganda on both sides. One must read between the lines, and think critically about how the history is being distorted and biased from one perspective or another.

May I ask what you are reading at this time on the history of the Reformation?

“May I ask what you are reading at this time on the history of the Reformation?”

Right now, I’m finishing a short history of the Reformation, “The Reformation of the 16th Century” by Bainton. I would have finished it yesterday if I hadn’t taken a blow to the face Monday (accident) that has left me with bloody sinuses. Happily, they seem to be healing. I skipped from Luther to the Anabaptist, and need to go back and read about Calvin and Anglicans.

I also told another FReeper I would read a biography on Nathan Forrest...although I’ve misplaced the book.

I’m open to suggestions on church history, although finances mean I might not get to them for a few weeks.
