Description
"The reader is invited to discover a little more about the rich history of the Protestant Reformation, told by means of philatelic images chosen from Maurício Melo Meneses's collection ... The first part of this book is illustrated with stamps and philatelic documents that show the main forerunners and protagonists of the Reformation. In the second part, a series of stamps reveals the developments of the Reformation: its expansion throughout the world, the religious wars, the first translations of the Bible into the vernacular languages, among other events. Finally, the reader is presented with stamps that make reference to the establishment of Protestantism in Brazil, with emphasis on Presbyterianism."-- back cover.
