In this last collection of his vital, controversial, and accessible
writings, Heiko A. Oberman seeks to liberate and broaden our
understanding of the European Reformation, from its origins in
medieval philosophy and theology through the Puritan settlers who
brought Calvin's vision to the New World. Ranging over many topics,
Oberman finds fascinating connections between aspects of the
Reformation and twentieth-century history and thought-most notably
the connection to Nazism and the Holocaust. He revisits his earlier
work on the history of anti-Semitism, rejects the notion of an
unbroken line from Luther to Hitler to the Holocaust, and offers a
new perspective on the Christian legacy of anti-Semitism and its
murderous result in the twentieth century. Oberman demonstrates how
the simplifications and rigidities of modern historiography have
obscured the existential spirits of such great figures as Luther
and Calvin. He explores the debt of both Luther and Calvin to
medieval religious thought and the impact of diverse features of
"the long fifteenth century"-including the Black Death, nominalism,
humanism, and the Conciliar Movement-on the Reformation.
