“My favourite in the entire series. As with all of Durants books, it takes a long time to set the stage and provide context. However, once you make it past the 1/3rd mark it takes a turn and becomes an engaging and shockingly brilliant work. This book sparked a deep love of the reformation and Christian theology more broadly in myself that is still unwavering.”

About Will Durant
Will Durant (1885–1981) was awarded the Pulitzer Prize (1968) and the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1977). He spent more than fifty years writing his critically acclaimed eleven-volume series, The Story of Civilization (the later volumes written in conjunction with his wife, Ariel). A champion of human rights issues, such as the brotherhood of man and social reform, long before such issues were popular, Durant’s writing still educates and entertains readers around the world.
