Figures of the Reformation

29 figures who prepared, led and carried on the Protestant Reformation: from the medieval preachers who called for a return to Scripture to those who received, debated and translated its legacy. Explore by era, search by name or place and open each card to read their story.

The portraits come from Wikimedia Commons and are in the public domain or under Creative Commons licenses. Each card lists the author, the license and the original file. The biographies are popular summaries based on the bibliography at the end and on the Wikipedia articles linked from each card. To see how the Bible reached us, visit the history of the Bible.
