SHORT HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION: published by the Protestant Truth Society, 184 Fleet Street, London, E.C.4 (price 2/- per copy: post free, 2/3d.). This is a booklet of 80 pages with paper covers and good reading print and illustrations throughout. In the Introduction it is asked “Why does Protestantism stand for the Bible?” The answer is given in a quotation from Chillingworth, the Protestant theologian, viz., “The Bible and the Bible alone is the religion of Protestants.” Further, it is stated: “In the Reformation days the Bible having been enthroned as the voice of God speaking to His people, immediately the greatest superstition of all, namely, that of transubstantiation, was repudiated.” That was of course the Mass and all the blasphemies connected with it. This booklet begins with John Wickcliffe, who lived and witnessed against the errors of Rome in the fourteenth century, and it is recalled in the narrative and under a picture of Wickcliffe reclining on his sick-bed, what he said to the Friars who came to him, viz., “I shall not die but live and show the evil deeds of the Friars.” Of course, the principal and deeply interesting historical facts regarding this Reformer are related. Then there are chapters dealing with the Reformation from stage to stage of its progress, and the outstanding personalities and witnesses for God’s Word against superstition and idolatry are in each chapter made the centre of a brief but most interesting sketch of Reformation activities, witness and sufferings. We, for instance, read of Savonarola of Italy, Ulric Zwingli of Switzerland, John Calvin, Luther, John Knox, William of Orange coming to England in the seventeenth century, and of others. The booklet is very readable, will refresh the memory of those of older years, and will provide an outline of vital history for the young. We recommend the purchase of this booklet to all our readers, and would say that it will be most suitable for sending as a gift to friends.
