Written by E. Harris Harbison, "The Age of Reformation" brings us back to the important events that occurred more than five centuries ago. The events he focused mainly on chronicle the life of the people in Europe as well as other countries -- writing about hardships faced and mistakes made. To better gain insight on the topic, Harbison breaks the book down into three vital parts. They are: The European World about 1500, The Religious Upheaval, and The Struggle for Power. The first part contains information about life, people, government and power in the European World during the 1500s.

And the third part situates itself on matters concerning the need and demand for power, which is basically always the same issue that leads to many of the events in history as well as today.
