There are a lot – and I mean a lot – of characters appearing in this history, but the author (unlike many other historians) has the good sense to include a short biographical glossary at the front of the book. Still, you might want to keep an Internet connection alive to google phrases like "double predestination" or groups like the "Utraquists."
That's the one reason I give this book 4**** and not somewhat higher, that it does require some knowledge of Reformed theology and Reformed as well as paleo-Protestant history that the author skims over or assumes knowledge of.
