Inside The Reformation
This book is an encyclopedia of sorts (think: DK Encyclopedia style but with a little less text involved), showing images and offering brief descriptions and explanations on the following topics:
- The Holy Roman Empire
- City Life
- Food and Drink
- Relics
- Art
- St. Peter's Basilica
- Ninety-five Theses
- Knights
- Peasants' War
- Augsburg Confession
- Katharina Luther
- Printing Press
- Much more!
This book is not designed for any particular age group in mind. My children are just as curious to poke through it as I am. There is artwork to look at, pictures of weaponry displayed which was used at the time, as well as pictures of relics of the Roman Catholic Church (which I find fascinating to look at). If you cannot travel over to Europe and see these things for yourself (and I can't just at the moment) this is a nice collection of little snippets which further enlighten both the old and young as to what things were like "back in the day." It's a very handy resource and one that I am happy to have on our bookshelves for when we study either medieval life or the Reformation.
THIS CONTEST IS NOW CLOSED. THE WINNER (as selected by Random.org) IS #18 - Jes! Congrats!
Kudos to Concordia Publishing House for producing an appealing and useful resource for parents and teachers to use with their children and students. Many thanks to them also for sending a copy my direction in exchange for my honest opinion. Lastly - thank you for offering an additional copy to one of my readers!
