To this day, I still get letters from student who attended those lectures, explaining what they found so exciting about them, and the impact they had on their intellectual development. While the thought of the Reformation remains one of the most fascinating areas of study for historians, it also continues to be of central importance to anyone interested in the history of the Christian church or its religious ideas. This book follows the convention of including mainline Protestant, Catholic, and Anabaptist approaches to the questions under discussion during this 'Age of Reformation,' aiming for accuracy in scholarship, clarity in explanation, and charity in dealing with disputed questions. The Reformation embraced a number of quite distinct, yet overlapping, areas of human activity - the reform of both the morals and structures of church and society, shifts in economic and social thinking, the renewal of Christian spirituality, and the reform of Christian doctrine. It was a movement based upon a more or less coherent set of ideas, which were believed to be capable of functioning as the foundation of a program of reform and renewal"--c| Provided by publisher.;
