Throughout these essays there runs a common theme: the need to
place the Reformation movement in its medieval context, and to
bridge the ideological gaps between late medieval Renaissance, and
Reformation studies.
The opening chapters consider late medieval thought and the
emergence of the young Luther at the center of the Reformation
movement. There follows a study of the impact upon Luther of the
philological, spiritual, and philosophical traditions of
sixteen-century Europe. These traditions are fully examined in
order to discern what Luther and his followers silently ignored or
rejected, and so to delineate what is new and original in early
Reformation thought.
The remaining chapters move from Luther to the wider world of
events marking the Reformation era: the Peasant War, the Copernican
Revolution, the beginning of the Counter-reformation and the
reformed initiated by the Council of Trent.
