The Harder They Fall

Changes in the approaches to the history of the Reformation of the Church have radically altered our understanding of that event within its broadest social and cultural context. This concise study provides a synthesis of the main research, with special emphasis on the German Reformation, and presents Professor Scribner's own interpretation of the period. The second edition of this text includes a new introduction, a supplementary chapter and a supplementary bibliography by C. Scott Dixon.
