About this listen

Love history? Know your stuff with History in an Hour.

The Reformation was a long struggle of ideas between the established Catholic Church and the questioning of faith brought about by the Renaissance in Western Europe. Started by Martin Luther in 1517, religious dissidence spread across Europe throughout the sixteenth century, causing wars, migration and disunity. By 1648 Henry VIII’s desire for divorce led him to break with the Catholic Church in Rome and form the Church of England.

The Reformation: History in an Hour is a clear and comprehensive look at this long and complex period of religious change. It explains the major causes of the Reformation and the differences between Protestants and Catholics. It will help you understand the significance of the Reformation in European history in just one hour.

This was wonderful! A good, straightforward review of the Reformation full of long-forgotten details. Jonathan Keeble's narration is beautiful. This man could read anything, and I would probably enjoy it immensely.

There is enough information in this one hour draft to sweeten anyone with an interest or educational project. From start to finish we are given a clear concise over-all of the difficult times when Religion ruled Europe.

Clearly narrated smooth and precise with just enough eagerness to keep the storyline interesting to the very end. If anything; you are left thinking how you could listen for another hour.

So well done are these one hour accounts that you look forward to listening gain as there is so much information to absorb.
