Beschreibungen

Originally in five volumes this history of the Protestant Reformation still finds ready acceptance. As a popular work on the Reformation, it has had immense circulation in several languages.

d'Aubigne's description of the prominent events and personalities of the Reformation is marked by a lively style of writing, a certain picturesqueness, and powerful word painting. It captures the heartbeats of the Reformation. Characters such as Erasmus, Luther, Melanchthon, Farel, Calvin, Tetzel, and Eck sprint to life. Their personality traits and their roles in the drama of the Reformation are captured in lively detail.
<b>Jean Henri Merle d’Aubigné</b> (1794–1872) was born in Geneva of French Protestant refugees and studied in Geneva, Leipzig, and Berlin. His brilliant career included a first pastorate in a French congregation in Hamburg, a stint as court preacher in Brussels, and a professorship in the theological school of the Evangelical Society of Geneva. Although he taught a variety of subjects, his primary interest and first love was church history, especially that of the Protestant Reformation. The first volume of his magnum opus appeared in 1835, the last in 1853.
