Reformation Biographies

Personaje fascinante y contradictorio, es uno de los políticos estadounidenses más recordados de la segunda mitad del siglo XX. Tras convertirse en el primer católico que accedía a la presidencia, impulsó una serie de reformas que quedaron truncadas por su misterioso asesinato en 1963, un magnicidio cuyos móviles nunca han quedado del todo esclarecidos y que ha dado lugar a múltiples conjeturas.

Five hundred years ago, a monk named Martin Luther wrote ninety-five questions, hoping to start a discussion about sin and repentance at the University of Wittenberg in Germany. In a few months those questions had stirred the nation; a few years later, the continent. Today we know that those questions changed the course of both the Western church and world history. In this volume for children, Simonetta Carr tells the compelling story of this father of the Protestant Reformation.

Die Reformation war eine Männerdomäne? Weit gefehlt! Neben den bekannten Protagonisten wie Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli oder Johannes Calvin haben Frauen die Reformation auf unterschiedliche Weise mitgeprägt: als mächtige Verbündete, sozial Engagierte, resolute Autorinnen oder leidenschaftliche Unterstützerinnen in einer Zeit des gesellschaftlichen, politischen und religiösen Umbruchs. Zwölf Porträts. Gelesen von Regula Siegfried, Dorothee Roth, Christian Breitschmid und Heiner Hitz.

The Protestant Reformation of the early 16th century in Europe divided the church and gave rise to several reformation movements. As such, it was characterised by universally famous men such as Martin Luther, Huldrych Zwingli or John Calvin, but many women were also quite instrumental in advancing the Protestant cause - as powerful supporters, committed helpers, resolute authors and passionate advocates in a time of great social, political and religious upheaval.
