The evangelical challenge of the 16th century was one of the
seminal events of the last half millennium. In the course of a
single century of religious discord, an integrated society of
believers with shared values and common social and intellectual
assumptions evolved into a continent divided by fundamental
differences of belief, mentality, and religious practice. These
divisions cut across existing hierarchies, national boundaries and
social class. Few aspects of 16th century life were left untouched;
the impact of the Reformation disputes would be enduring, shaping
critical aspects of modern European society and reaching out, with
the European conquests, to Asia and the Americas. In the past two
decades, study of the Reformation has continued to develop and
evolve. The dissolution of the European post-war settlement in 1989
has permitted, in particular, the rediscovery of cultural and
political points of contact across areas of central Europe
previously obscured by the divisions of the late 20th century. It
is now gradually emerging that the Reformation was in many respects
more successful looking eastward, than west.This collection
reflects both the classic building blocks of Reformation history,
such as the writings of Luther and Calvin, and also the new
historiography which has emerged in recent years. The material is
organized so as to explore the thematic complexities of this
all-encompassing movement, whilst giving due weight to developments
in different parts of Europe including France, the Netherlands,
Germany, Switzerland, England and Scotland.
