Reformation Books
The Protestant Reformation began in 1517 with the dissemination of Martin Luthers ninety-five theses, written by Luther against abuses in the Catholic Church. Protestantism began as a movement across Europe away from the doctrinal errors of Catholicism.
Many great Reformers emerged during the next few decades including Martin Luther, John Calvin, and Ulrich Zwingli. The works of some of some of these reformers are still cherished today in Reformed circles.
Understanding the Reformation and the reasons for the break from the Catholic Church have not been well studied by many Evangelicals. If you are interested in Reformation books, you are off to a good start in understanding the Protestant roots.
d'Aubigne's Great Reformation Book
Historical Works
Among Reformation books, History of the Reformation by Jean Henri Merle d'Aubigné is considered to be critical. In Henry Beveridge's translation (1845) of dAubigne's work, Beveridge states the following:"D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation is so well known and so highly appreciated as to make it not only unnecessary, but almost presumptuous, for a mere Translator to say any thing in commendation of it. The public feeling unquestionably is, that of the works which have recently appeared, it is 'one of the most talented, interesting, important, and seasonable. The mere lapse of time, aided by the active misrepresentations of the Romish party, had begun to make an impression in some degree unfavourable to the principles of the Reformation. This admirable work has again placed these principles in their true light. By its vivid display of what Rome was and did, it has impressively reminded us of what she still is, and is prepared to do. Her great boast is, that she has never changed. If so, she longs to return to her former course, and will return to it the first moment that circumstances enable her to do so. Being thus warned, our duty is plain. We must prepare for the combat; and of all preparations, none promises to be more effectual than that of thoroughly embuing the public mind with the facts so graphically delineated, and the principles so luminously and forcibly expounded in this work of D'Aubigne."

Protestant Reformation
The Protestant Reformation (1517?1648) was the European Christian reform movement that established Protestantism as a constituent branch of contemporary Christianity; it began in 1517, when Martin Luther published The Ninety-Five Theses, and concluded in 1648, with the Peace of Westphalia that ended one hundred thirty-one years of consequent European religious wars.

John Calvin - The Reformer
John Calvin (; 10 July 1509 ? 27 May 1564) was an influential French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation. He was a principal figure in the development of the system of Christian theology later called Calvinism. Originally trained as a humanist lawyer, he broke from the Roman Catholic Church around 1530. In 1534 Calvin and other reformers fled to Basel Switzerland after a violent uprising against the reformers. It was in Basel, in March 1536, that Calvin published the first edition of his Institutio Christianae Religionis or Institutes of the Christian Religion. The work was an apologia or defense of his faith and a statement of the doctrinal position of the reformers. He also intended it to serve as an elementary instruction book for anyone interested in the Christian religion.
Calvin returned to France for a brief period of time, but after religious tensions provoked another violent uprising against Protestants in France, Calvin set off for Strasbourg, a free imp...
