Characters Of The Reformation
By Hilaire Belloc
Catholic Books on History

In this Catholic book, the author focuses on the primary persons involved in what history has called the Protestant Reformation. Including chapters on Henry the 8th, Thomas More, Thomas Cromwell and others. A key point to Belloc's writing is that the Reformers were, in his view, rarely motivated by religious fervor, but rather by political or economic motives. For him, the Reformation and break away from the Church wasn't about theology, but about nationalism and resentment of the pope's authority.
