Synopses & Reviews
This collection provides a thorough introduction to and critical commentary on recent scholarship on the Reformation. Thirteen leading British, American and Australian scholars discuss the variety of Reformations across Europe, and provide overviews of key problems and themes. In addition to surveying the "long" historiographical background, these essays offer a detailed synthesis of research published in the last twenty or thirty years, including material not normally available to a non-specialist readership. This book is an invaluable introduction to the field for students at all levels.
