The European Reformations Sourcebook

This revised and expanded volume brings together a carefully selected collection of primary sources drawn from medieval and sixteenth-century texts. Notable for its comprehensive coverage, it consolidates a broad range of important documents, which until now, have been scattered through numerous volumes of primary materials.

The European Reformations Sourcebook is an invaluable collection of primary sources, edited by a renowned reformations scholar, which brings together significant and illuminating documents from this influential period.

Revised and updated, it includes catechetical writings by Luther and Calvin, along with increased analysis of their theological writings. It also covers contributions from women reformers such as Caritas Pirckheimer, Katharina Schütz-Zell, and Olimpia Morata.

This comprehensive collection features a broad range of documents spanning major theological writings, confessions, political grievances, as well as writings drawn from tracts, poems, and satires. It includes observer accounts of events and debates that lucidly depict the personalities of the reformers, offering students their first direct engagement with participants in the European reformations.

The European Reformations Sourcebook serves as an ideal accompaniment to Lindberg’s The European Reformations, 2nd edition, or it can be used alongside any text on the European reformations for a complete learning guide.
