Getting the Reformation wrong is a common problem. Most students of history know that Martin Luther nailed his ninety-five theses to the Wittenberg Church door and that John Calvin penned the Institutes of the Christian Religion. However; the Reformation did not unfold in the straightforward; monolithic fashion some may think. It was; in fact; quite a messy affair. Using the most current Reformation scholarship; James R. Payton exposes; challenges and corrects some common misrepresentations of the Reformation. Getting the Reformation Wrong:places the Reformation in the context of medieval and Renaissance reform effortsanalyzes conflicts among the Reformerscorrects common misunderstandings of what the Reformers meant by sola fide and sola Scripturaexamines how the Anabaptist movement fits in with the magisterial Reformationcritiques the post-Reformational move to Protestant Scholasticismexplores how the fresh perspective on the Reformation could make a difference in today's churches

Love itBy Karoll HarisNot many pages; but excellent content. Opens your mind. Even the kids are letting us read it to them and they're listening.3 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Reveals the Reality of the Experience of the Holy SpiritBy A Customerthis is an amazing book; ranking up there with Buber's 'Ecstatic Confessions'; Kapleau's 'Three Pillars of Zen'; and the 1960's film 'Holy Ghost People'; as being a valuable collection of authentic religious experience. Thankfully; African Americans have preserved the experience of the Holy Spirit described in this book in Gospel Music. The traditions described in this book deserve to be revived and preserved; i.e. 'the mourner's bench'; and singing in a circle out in a field at night. It seems to me this book helps to show that we are all slaves to the world and society until freed by the holy spirit.
