Synopsis

Until now there has been no single anthology of the most important Reformation documents. Janz, a well-known scholar in the area, aims to remedy that lack with this carefully edited anthology of nearly 100 documents. Formulated in such a way as to be usable in state university settings as well as religious ones, undergraduate and graduate, the volume includes not only the most frequently cited documents but also some more personal narratives and letters, comments on the social mores of the time, and some sermons. It offers full coverage of the late-medieval background and also the Catholic Reformation, the Council of Trent, and the English Reformation. It also includes introductions to each part, and shorter introductions that contextualize each document.
