Appold Princeton Theological Seminary, USA The Reformation marked a decisive breaking point in both the history of Christianity and the nature of the medieval world. This brief history describes the new ways of thinking, believing and behaving that could no longer be integrated into the world-view of late-medieval Catholicism and precipitated a break with the established order. The book portrays the late-medieval context out of, and into which the Reformation arose, describes the radical ideas proposed by the Reformers, and outlines the long-term consequences brought about by these crucial develoments. Drawing on work in social and political history, historical anthropology, and in the history of theology, the work promises an engaging synthesis which will provide readers with an upto-date and comprehensive overview of an era of enduring significance.
