These include Martin Luther, William Tyndale, Hugh Latimer, and William Perkins;lesser-known pastors in Geneva;and women such as Katherine Luther, Katharina Zell, Anna Bullinger, Katherine Willoughby, and Catherine de Bourbon. You will also discover the reformers commitment to propagate the gospel to all nations and the riches of the Reformation view of missions.
