Girolamo Savonarola deserves to be better known and here is the ideal introduction to his life and work. A Roman Catholic monk in Italy, the very heart of Catholicism, he nevertheless understood the meaning of grace. No less a figure than Martin Luther affirmed that Savonarola held to justificaiton by faith alone. This gripping account traces his story through to death at the hands of his persecutors.

Endorsement

"Girolama Savonarola stands in the minds of may as the epitome of the firey prophet, denouncing the corruption of rulers, commoners, and clergy alike. As is often the case, there is much more to this man who dominated the scene of fifteenth-century Florence than his renowned bursts of thunder. With his usual vivid and engaging style, Douglas Bond takes us closer to this Savonarola, with his passions, strengths and flaws, and steers our attention to his utter dependence on God and his sincere commitment to the purity of God's Word." - Simonetta Carr, Author
