READING

Destination Reads
We have not yet previewed these books, but will be reading some ourselves before this tour. These are just the ones that we are considering from our search results.
THE REFORMATION: A HISTORY by Diarmaid MacCulloch
A widely acclaimed, comprehensive history of the Protestant Reformation across Europe, covering major figures and movements. Definitely a heavy read! Think of it as a textbook.
THE REFORMATION by Will Durant
Josh's pick. Written in more of a narrative style while still keeping the heavy educational components of a textbook.



Another recommendation from Josh and Chris Cordes. A broader look at the development of the church throughout various ages.
SALVATION AT STAKE by Brad Gregory
Captures the intensity and human cost of religious conflict in the era.


Accessible and aimed at general readers

A sweeping, adventurous story set across 16th century Europe amid Reformation conflicts.

Chronichles of Schonberg-Cotta Family
A slightly updated version of the classic based on a fictional family set in Reformation-era Germany.
