Introduction to key Reformers (Calvin, Luther, Melanchthon, Peter Martyr) and confessions (the Heidelberg Catechism, the Westminster Confession, the Canons of Dort). The sketches in this book strive to show that the Reformation remains vitally important for Christians today. Reformers and preachers of the sixteenth century were the best educated, most godly, and most faithful group of leaders the church has ever seen. In a remarkable way they combined commitment, learning and orthodoxy. In this book, Martin Luther and John Calvin received most of Godfreys attention, but he also treats Philip Melancthon, Peter Martyr Vermigli, the Heidelberg Catechism and the Canons of Dort.
