A reassessment of the precedents, course, and legacy of the
Reformation has occurred in the present generation of academic
writing. This collection of essays brings together research by
established and new scholars on themes of the Reformation with a
particular focus on its antecedents and legacies in the Anglican
tradition. Utilizing a diversity of topics, approaches, and
methods, this book adds measurably to our knowledge of the place of
the Reformation in Britain and Ireland as well as its European,
North American, and African particularities. Exploring a variety of
themes, this collection examines the Reformation in relation to key
aspects of church organization, belief, sacrament, conversion,
relationships with other denominations, theological education,
church and state, worship, and issues of resilience and decline.
While these themes are pursued broadly, there is a particular focus
on the context of the Anglican tradition in terms of Reformation
preoccupations and concerns. This collection's thematic content,
chronological span, and geographical range will also challenge
accepted views, deepen understanding, and highlight new areas of
enquiry, bringing new research and insights to bear on established
observations. Academics will find this book of particular interest
for courses on the Reformation, Early Modern Europe, and the
history of Christianity.
