Beschreibung

The Reformation Theologians is the ideal introduction to the study of the sixteenth-century Reformations. It introduces the theological context, though, and contributions of theologians from this period, offering students and scholars an essential resource and insight. This comprehensive and lively book discusses all the major strands of Reformation thought and explores the work of a range of influential figures, including theologians and non-theologians, humanists, clergy and laity, men and women. The contributors to this volume are leading scholars in the field of historical and systematic theology. Accessibly structured, it covers the Humanist, Lutheran, Reformed, Roman Catholic, and "Radical" Theologians. An introductory chapter explores the interpretations of the Reformation and a concluding chapter explains the influence of Reformation theologies on the modern period. The text also includes useful bibliographies and a glossary of theological terms.

Acknowledgments

I am grateful to the many people whose support and work made this volume possible. Alex Wright, previous senior commissioning editor of religion at Blackwell, initiated the project; and Joanna Pyke, Blackwell’s editorial controller, has shepherded the volume to completion with her usual competence, attention to detail, and gracious flexibility concerning schedules. Finally, thanks to Clare Woodford and Laura Barry, Blackwell publishing coordinators, for their assistance with numerous details, large and small.

The contributors were a great pleasure to work with. They graciously consented to make room in their busy schedules to participate in this project. I am especially grateful to those who joined late in the game due to the withdrawals of some of the original invitees owing to serious illnesses and other problems. The volume was to include chapters on Martin Bucer and John Fisher, but unfortunately when it became apparent that these chapters would not materialize it was too late to find replacement contributors. I apologize for this impoverishment of the Reformed and Roman Catholic sections, and hope readers may begin to fill in the gaps with the entries in The Oxford Encyclopedia of the Reformation and the Theologische Realenzyklopädie.

I also wish to thank James M. Estes, professor emeritus of the University of Toronto, for both recommending Dr. Hermann Ehmer for the Brenz chapter and then translating the chapter into English. I am responsible for the translations of the chapters on d’Etaples, Luther, Melanchthon, Karlstadt, Müntzer, and Schwenkfeld. Erika Lindberg, our daughter, provided indispensable help with the translations of the French chapters on d’Etaples and Schwenkfeld. And the authors of all the translated chapters were exceedingly gracious in reading and correcting my drafts. Translation errors and infelicities – in spite of so much assistance – remain my own.
