A collection of studies, written by eminent international historians and theologians and edited by the French academic Pierre Chaunu, presents a fascinating panorama of the world of the Reformation: pre-Reformation Europe; politics and crisis in the Holy Roman Empire; Luther, Calvin and the Protestant Reformers; diffusion, failure, Catholic Counter-Reformation and the survival of the Reforming convictions; England's 'via media', Puritan dissent and Protestant orthodoxy.
