European Reformation, The

---

Overview: This is a survey and an analysis of the European Reformation of the sixteenth century. During this period western Christianity underwent the most dramatic changes in its entire history. From Iceland to the Transylavania, from the Baltic to the Pyrenees, the Reformation divided churches and communities into 'catholic' and 'protestant', and created varying regional and national traditions. The new protestant creed rejected traditional forms of piety - masses, penances, pardons, and vows - in favour of sermons and catechisms, and an everyday morality of diligence, neighbourly charity, and prayer. In the process it involved many of Europe's people for the first time in a political movement inspired by an ideology and nourished by mass communication. Using the most recent research, the author provides a thematic and narrative synthesis for the events and ideas of the Reformation. He examines its social and religious background, its teachers and their message, and explores its impact on contemporary society. This book is an incisive and wide-ranging study, which includes maps and suggestions for further reading. It will be invaluable for all students of early modern Europe.
