It is widely recognized that the sixteenth-century Reformation
remains one of the most fascinating and exciting areas of
scholarship. A central and important question, raised by intensive
modern research on the Renaissance and late medieval scholasticism,
concerns the intellectual origins of the Reformation. This updated
and expanded version of the original, highly-acclaimed edition of
1987 explores the complex intellectual roots of the Reformation,
offering a sustained engagement with the ideas of humanism and
scholasticism. McGrath demonstrates how the intellectual origins of
the Reformation were heterogeneous, and draws out the implications
of this finding for our understanding of the Reformation as a
whole. McGrath's reading of the Reformation against its complex
intellectual background opens up new insights into this highly
significant historical phenomenon. Yet this is more than a
fascinating exploration in the history of ideas: it is also a
defence of the entire enterprise of intellectual history in the
face of social historical approaches, and a reaffirmation of the
importance of ideas to the development of history.
