Oberman's magisterial work transfers discussion of late medieval
Christian thought from the private studies of the specialist to
more general use and understanding, and explains the significance
of the ideas of the time. Although this 'Late Medieval Reader' does
not exhaust the riches of the period between the High Middle Ages
and the Reformation era, it introduces the reader to aspects of
such major themes as conciliarism, curialism, mysticism,
scholasticism, the spirituality of the Devotio Moderna, and the
impact of Renaissance humanism. The theme of the "Forerunners" has
grown out of the consideration that the justified rejection of a
confessional reading of the past has been succeeded by an equally
unhistorical disjunction of the Medieval and Reformation periods.
Without a grasp of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, the
medieval basis of modern thought is incomplete, since Reformation
and Counter Reformation seem to arise 'out of the blue'.
