The blazing candle signifies the true light of the gospel recovered by the Reformers (cf. Matthew 5: 14-16). Facing the viewer is \"a great cloud of witnesses to the gospel\" (Hebrews 12:1) encompassing Reformers from Wyclif and Hus to Luther and Calvin. Luther and an open Bible are front and center. Facing the Reformers are a cardinal, the devil, the Pope, and a monk. Vainly trying to blow out the candle, they are characterized as \"distorters of learning,\" \"father of lies,\" \"false succession,\" and \"hypocrisy.\" However, the image of a harmonious reforming movement united against Roman Catholicism does not correlate with the historical reality of the various reformations. The Reformers in the image had some very sharp and church-dividing theological conflicts with each other as well as with the Catholic Church. Furthermore, the engraving does not include so-called radical Reformers nor the large number of significant women Reformers. Indeed, the \"unity\" of the Reformation is more a historical construct than reality.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley-Blackwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47990223208677,"sku":"NP9781119640813","price":37.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119640813.jpg?v=1761786969","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/the-european-reformations-isbn-9781119640813","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
