Volume Description

This work provides a comprehensive and multi-facetted account of the Reformation in eastern and central Europe, drawing on extensive archival research carried out by Continental and British scholars. Across a broad thematic, temporal and geographical range, the contributors examine the cultural impact of the Reformation in Eastern Europe, the encounters between different confessions, and the blend of religious and political pressures which shaped the path of Reformation in these lands. By making the fruits of their enquiry accessible to a wider audience, the contributors promise to emphasise the of import role of eastern and fundamental Europe on the early modern European scene.

Reviews

'This book fills in gaps in our understanding of developments parallel to those in the West and thus enables us meliorate to assess and clarify the Reformation in every land in Europe. All college, university, and seminary libraries should have this book.' Religious Studies Review, Vol. 24, No. three 'this collection makes a fine volume. Information technology should aid to bring these crucially of import peripheries into more central focus in discussions of the Age of Reform.' Slavic Review, Vol. 57, No. 3 'every bit an encouragement for further exploration and every bit a reminder of the importance of the region, this volume makes a valuable contribution to eastern European Reformation studies.'
