Excellent Account of The Reformation

There is enough information in this one hour draft to sweeten anyone with an interest or educational project. From start to finish we are given a clear concise over-all of the difficult times when Religion ruled Europe.

Clearly narrated smooth and precise with just enough eagerness to keep the storyline interesting to the very end. If anything; you are left thinking how you could listen for another hour.

So well done are these one hour accounts that you look forward to listening gain as there is so much information to absorb.

Pitted account of the split from Rome

Very informative, concise summary of the Reformation. Will need to listen again to take it all in. The reader has a pleasant voice and good pace. Recommended for students of history and theology.

Clear, concise and flawlessly narrated.

This was wonderful! A good, straightforward review of the Reformation full of long-forgotten details. Jonathan Keeble's narration is beautiful. This man could read anything, and I would probably enjoy it immensely.

Too much in an hour

Given this was history in an hour, i found it far too complicated with dates thrown in left right and centre.

I’m not studying the subject, the aim of these quick short bursts of information is to gain a good understanding, the content here was far more than i wanted or indeed needed which is a shame as most in this series are good in delivering an overview in an hour.

If you like dates (and you will get lots in an hour), then this is for you.

A history book needs to be factual or it is not history

The first line in the book stated that the Roman Catholic Church reigned in Europe from the time of St. Peter, whereas the Roman Christian faith wasn’t Created until 400 years after Christ and the apostles and wasn’t dubbed catholic until centuries late.
