Synopsis

Originally published more than forty years ago, this important collection—now revised and updated—brings together the works and writings of the revolutionary minds behind the Protestant Reformation and remains a major resource for teachers, students, and history buffs alike.

Over the decades, modern scholarship has shed new light on this tumultuous period, raising probing questions and providing new connections that have radically changed our understanding and outlook. With this updated edition of this essential work—now including texts written by women as well as entries dealing with popular religion—modern viewpoints are cogently addressed, while the scholarly integrity that has made this book a revered classic has been scrupulously maintained. Throughout, Hans J. Hillerbrand's basic assumption remains consistent: religion—no matter how dependent on societal forces—must be seen as the pivotal element in the story of the sixteenth century.
