The Protestant Reformation 1517 - 1559: The Rise of Modern Europe
A reissue of the acclaimed survey by a leading Reformation historian, The Protestant Reformation 1517-1559 covers all the major reform movements of the 16th century, including Lutheran, Calvinist, Zwinglian, and the Anabaptist traditions; English; and the Roman Catholic response. By focusing on the social, political, economic, and religious contexts of the Reformation, Spitz weaves together a remarkable overview of the complex, often obscure, history of Europe in this formative period. With an updated bibliography, this text provides a comprehensive portrait of the leading figures, events and theological and intellectual currents of the Reformation.
