The 'problem of authority' was not an invention of the Protestant
Reformation, but, as the essays contained in this volume
demonstrate, its discussion, in ever greater complexity, was one of
the ramifications (if not causes) of the deepening divisions within
the Christian church in the sixteenth century. Any optimism that
the principle of sola scriptura might provide a vehicle for unity
and concord in the post-Reformation church was soon to be dented by
a growing uncertainty and division, evident even in early
evangelical writing and preaching. Representing a new approach to
an important subject this volume of essays widens the understanding
and interpretation of authority in the debates of the Reformation.
The fruits of original and recent research, each essay builds with
careful scholarship on solid historiographical foundations,
ensuring that the content and ultimate conclusions do much to
challenge long-standing assumptions about perceptions of authority
in the aftermath of the Reformation. Rather than dealing with
individual sources of authority in isolation, the volume examines
the juxtapositions of and negotiations between elements of the
authoritative synthesis, and thereby throws new light on the nature
of authority in early-modern Europe as a whole. This volume is thus
an ideal vehicle with which to bring high quality, new, and
significant research into the public domain for the first time,
whilst adding substantially to the existing corpus of Reformation
scholarship.
