Robert D. Linder is Distinguished Professor of History at Kansas State University, Manhattan.

Both teachers and students will find many reasons to like this new textbook from the Greenwood series….This book is to be recommended for many reasons apart from the 135 densely packed pages of regular text. The biographies, primary documents, glossary, and annotated bibliography of printed and electronic resources will doubtless prove useful to students looking to write term papers, and the lively writing style will engage even the most uninterested student….The Reformation Era will certainly stimulate young readers and encourage scholars to bring not only fresh historiographical perspectives to the classroom, but also use innovative presentation and media.
