Many thanks, MaryAnn, for being MC for this project - very much appreciated.

Thanks also for the opportunity to look again at the summary. I have made some revisions to it - here is the revised text:

The History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century, by Jean-Henri Merle d’Aubigné, is a classic work on the great events that re-opened the Christian gospel to a needy world. The author was a Swiss Protestant pastor. He was also a historian with a great understanding of the Bible, along with a broad and deep knowledge of the Reformation.

D’Aubigné tells the story of outstanding people who had a love for God and his word, and who dared to present biblical truths which had been obscured for centuries. The book has helped and encouraged Christians through difficult times, and given them an understanding of the background from which our freedom in the faith has come.

This great work is made up of five volumes. The first volume covered the early days, including the call of Martin Luther – first, from Erfurt University with the prospect of becoming a well-paid lawyer, to become a poor monk. And then, from an obscure monastery, his call to centre stage in world history. One day, while studying in the university library, he had taken down from the shelf a volume that caught his interest. It was a Bible! He was astonished to find in this volume so much more than the fragments of gospels and epistles that were selected for public reading in churches. And it was this discovery, in a dusty university library, of a complete copy of the inspired book from which those readings came, that changed the course of history.

Luther’s story continues in Volume 2, in which we are also introduced to the Swiss reformer, Zwingli. Volume 2 comprises four books which are: Book 5 – The Discussion of Leipsic, 1519; Book 6 – The Bull of Rome, 1520; Book 7 – The Diet of Worms, 1521 (January - May); Book 8 – The Swiss (1484-1522).


Thanks again. :)

May I ask if ChrisMS is going to do Volume 3 of the History of the Reformation? I'm recommending it to many people.

Dear Christopher,

I just wanted to thank you so much for your recording of History of the Reformation.

It has been a huge blessing in my life and I am recommending it to my friends.

It is so kind of you to volunteer your time to make this wonderful content available and I pray that God will reward you richly for your selfless effort.

Is there any chance you will record and release the remaining volumes (vol 3 and onward) in this work?

God bless you,
Randall
