The years 1450-1650 were a momentous period for the development of
Christianity. They witnessed the age of Reformation and
Counter-Reformation: perhaps the most important era for the shaping
of the faith since its foundation. C Scott Dixon explores how the
ideas that went into the making of early modern Christianity
re-oriented the Church to such an extent that they gave rise to new
versions of the religion. He shows how the varieties and
ambivalences of late medieval theology were now replaced by
dogmatic certainties, where the institutions of Christian churches
became more effective and 'modern', staffed by well-trained clergy.
Tracing these changes from the fall of Constantinople to the end of
the Thirty Years' War, and treating the High Renaissance and the
Reformation as part of the same overall narrative, the author
offers an integrated approach to widely different national, social
and cultural histories. Moving beyond Protestant and Catholic
conflicts, he contrasts Western Christianity with Eastern
Orthodoxy, and examines the Church's response to fears of Ottoman
domination.
