The first part of the book provides a general historiographical analysis of the Reformation, spanning from the 16th to the 21st century, by both Spanish and foreign authors. In itself, a study of extraordinary documentary value.

The second part describes the initial stage of the Spanish reformist spirit, where "alumbradismo" (distinctly Spanish), Erasmianism, and Lutheranism were intertwined, without even the Inquisition foreseeing problematic situations. It took several years for the Holy Office to stop so crudely confusing "iluminados" and Protestants. In his analysis, he clearly distinguishes between "alumbrados" and Protestants, the latter always defending Christocentrism and reliance on the Bible. And he shares Tellechea's thesis that there was a genuine outbreak of Protestantism in Spain, which would soon register an influence from Anabaptism and the Free Churches. The Spanish evangelical movement of the 16th century presents an amalgamation of all historical sectors of European Protestantism.

In the third part, he offers a detailed historical outline of the Spanish Reformation in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries with its most prominent figures.

And in the fourth part, a thorough and meticulous journey to show the pattern of the basic principles of the evangelical Reformation in Spain, as shown through the writings of our Protestant authors of the great Spanish 16th century: Juan de Valdés, Francisco de Enzinas, Constantino Pérez de la Fuente, Juan Pérez de Pineda, Antonio del Corro, Casiodoro de Reina, Cipriano de Valera.

Finally, in the conclusions section, he demonstrates how the Spanish evangelical movement, already begun in the 16th century, was maintained in the following centuries until it could begin to express itself freely in the 19th century.

As expected, the work is completed with an extensive bibliography on the subject.
