Literature, education, visual art, culture, politics, music, theology, church life, and Baptist history all provide prisms through which the Reformation legacy is viewed. From Augustine to Zwingli, historical figures like Luther, Calvin, Barth, Bonhoeffer, Rembrandt, Bach, Bunyan, and Wycliffe all find their way into this amazing 500-year story. From Anglicans to Baptists, scientists to poets, Reformation 500 weaves these many historical threads into a modern-day tapestry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"21Five Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39722065035448,"sku":"9781433684982","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0539\/0024\/7224\/files\/91q2kff4QNL._SL1500.jpg?v=1752766973"},{"product_id":"analog-church","title":"Analog Church: Why We Need Real People, Places, and Things in the Digital Age","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sheets-value=\"{\u0026quot;1\u0026quot;:2,\u0026quot;2\u0026quot;:\u0026quot;What does it mean to be an analog church in a digital age?\\r\\nIn recent decades the digital world has taken over our society at nearly every level, and the church has increasingly followed suit―often in ways we're not fully aware of.
