A New Translation by Henry Beveridge Esq Advocate (containing the author s last improvements)
Published by William Collins: Glasgow 1845 (Vols 1 & 2) 1846 (Vols 3 & 4)

History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century by J.H. Merle D'Aubigné is a sweeping and richly detailed account of the Protestant Reformation, primarily focused on its theological, political, and personal dimensions. Written from a Protestant evangelical perspective, the book traces the roots and rise of reformist thought in Europe, particularly through the lives and teachings of key figures like Martin Luther, John Calvin, Ulrich Zwingli, and others. D'Aubigné presents the Reformation as a divine movement, propelled by a rediscovery of the Bible and a rejection of ecclesiastical corruption. His narrative emphasizes the spiritual awakening and struggle for religious liberty that redefined Christianity and reshaped European history.

Highlights Include:
  • Martin Luther's stand at Worms: D'Aubigné vividly describes Luther's defiance of church authority as a turning point in religious freedom.
  • John Calvin's rise in Geneva: The book details how Calvin's reforms established a new model of church governance and discipline.
  • Spiritual themes: Throughout, D'Aubigné stresses divine providence, the authority of Scripture, and personal faith as the true drivers of the Reformation.
  • Political implications: The work examines the conflicts between emerging Protestant states and Catholic powers, revealing how theology influenced diplomacy and war.
