Dawn of the Reformation, The
Overview: Throughout these essays there runs a common theme: the need to place the Reformation movement in its medieval context, and to bridge the ideological gaps between late Medieval, Renaissance and Reformation studies. The opening chapter consider late Medieval thought and the emergence of the young Luther at the centre of the Reformation movement. There follows a study of the impact upon Luther of the philological, spiritual and philosophical traditions of sixteenth century Wittenburg. These traditions are then examined more fully in order to discern what Luther and his followers silently ignored or rejected, and so present what is new and original in early Reformation thought. The remaining chapters move from Luther to the wider world of events marking the Reformation era: the Peasant War, the Copernican Revolution, the beginning of the Counter-reformation and the reforms initiated by the Council of Trent.
