Twelve Reformation Heroes

A tale of courage of a high order is told in these pages; twelve of the best-known Reformers of various European countries play their heroic part in a great historic drama. The days in which they lived were dark and dangerous; the Bible a nearly unknown Book because it had not yet been translated into the language of the common people. To preach the pure Gospel of God's grace without works, sacraments, or money, and to translate and circulate the Scriptures meant to be branded as heretics.These brave Reformers were prepared for sufferings, sacrifice, and even death itself in order to accomplish their God-given task. By doing so, they broke the shackles of superstition, dispelled the darkness of ignorance, and flooded the world with the glorious light of salvation by faith.
