Philip Melanchthon and the English Reformation

Zusatztext 'John Schofield makes a persuasive case for the influence of the German Lutheran thinker Philip Melanchthon on the English Reformation... The book is well written and compelling; never insistent! it makes its case by the slow accretion of details! saving its final revelation for the last page... the book is enjoyable! persuasive! and eminently readable...'
