The Reformation Theologians is the ideal introduction to the study of the sixteenth-century Reformations. It introduces the theological context, though, and contributions of theologians from this period, offering students and scholars an essential resource and insight. This comprehensive and lively book discusses all the major strands of Reformation thought and explores the work of a range of influential figures, including theologians and non-theologians, humanists, clergy and laity, men and women.
The contributors to this volume are leading scholars in the field of historical and systematic theology. Accessibly structured, it covers the Humanist, Lutheran, Reformed, Roman Catholic, and "Radical" Theologians. An introductory chapter explores the interpretations of the Reformation and a concluding chapter explains the influence of Reformation theologies on the modern period. The text also includes useful bibliographies and a glossary of theological terms.

"This interesting volume of biographical sketches brings
together a heterogeneous group of theological bed-fellows,
important and not-so-important. It demonstrates superbly the
powerful richness of the theological discourse in the sixteenth
century. The anthology is a splendid introduction to the
theological turbulence of that age." Hans Hillerbrand, Duke
University
