This book examines Johann Sleidan's Commentaries, a basic history of the early decades of the Reformation written by a younger contemporary of Martin Luther. Reveals Sleidan's Protestant but non-polemic objective approach, which was less concerned with the fine points of Lutheran doctrine than with the imminent threat to its survival in essense. Shows that Sleiden was one of the first exponents of a modern sense for objectivity and valid documentation.
