Book Synopsis Great Voices of the Reformation by : Harry Fosdick
Download or read book Great Voices of the Reformation written by Harry Fosdick and published by . This book was released on 2013-12-28 with total page 558 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS ANTHOLOGY ENDEAVORS TO PRESENT, WITHIN THE LIMITS of a single volume, the major emphases of Protestant thought from John Wyclifle to John Wesley. The term "Protestant" -for a brief discussion of which the reader may turn to the Epilogue-originated long after Wyclise, and by Wesley's time had far outgrown its first meaning, but no other word is now available to connote the entire movement of thought and life which led up to and followed the dissevering of Christendom in the sixteenth century. The negative significance of the word in present usage, however, is unfortunate, for, as this anthology should make evident, while the Reformation certainly involved protest against Roman Catholicism, it was at heart an affirmation, a vigorous protestation of positive principles.

Book Synopsis The Voices of Morebath by : Eamon Duffy
Download or read book The Voices of Morebath written by Eamon Duffy and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2003-08-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fifty years between 1530 and 1580, England moved from being one of the most lavishly Catholic countries in Europe to being a Protestant nation, a land of whitewashed churches and antipapal preaching. What was the impact of this religious change in the countryside? And how did country people feel about the revolutionary upheavals that transformed their mental and material worlds under Henry VIII and his three children? In this book a reformation historian takes us inside the mind and heart of Morebath, a remote and tiny sheep farming village on the southern edge of Exmoor. The bulk of Morebath’s conventional archives have long since vanished. But from 1520 to 1574, through nearly all the drama of the English Reformation, Morebath’s only priest, Sir Christopher Trychay, kept the parish accounts on behalf of the churchwardens. Opinionated, eccentric, and talkative, Sir Christopher filled these vivid scripts for parish meetings with the names and doings of his parishioners. Through his eyes we catch a rare glimpse of the life and pre-Reformation piety of a sixteenth-century English village. The book also offers a unique window into a rural world in crisis as the Reformation progressed. Sir Christopher Trychay’s accounts provide direct evidence of the motives which drove the hitherto law-abiding West-Country communities to participate in the doomed Prayer-Book Rebellion of 1549 culminating in the siege of Exeter that ended in bloody defeat and a wave of executions. Its church bells confiscated and silenced, Morebath shared in the punishment imposed on all the towns and villages of Devon and Cornwall. Sir Christopher documents the changes in the community, reluctantly Protestant and increasingly preoccupied with the secular demands of the Elizabethan state, the equipping of armies, and the payment of taxes. Morebath’s priest, garrulous to the end of his days, describes a rural world irrevocably altered and enables us to hear the voices of his villagers after four hundred years of silence.
Book Synopsis The Reformation by : Steven M. Studebaker
Download or read book The Reformation written by Steven M. Studebaker and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2021-04-16 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Martin Luther's nailing of the Ninety-Five Theses on the church door at Wittenberg was a pivotal moment in the birth of what would become known as the Reformation. More than five hundred years later, historians and theologians continue to discuss the impact of these events and their ongoing relevance for the church today. The collection of essays contained in this volume not only engages the history and theology of this sixteenth-century movement, but also focuses on how the message and praxis of the Protestant reformers can be translated into a post-Christendom West.

Book excerpt: For the Protestant reformer, times were treacherous. The reformer lived, moved, and exercised his or her faith within the shadow of a powerful church that dominated Western culture. Many of these men and women paid the ultimate price for their faith. Celebrating the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, Godspeed is a 365-day devotional that features the words of prominent reformers, including Martin Luther, William Tyndale, John Calvin, and others, thoughtfully illuminated by best-selling author David Teems with both historical precision and charm. Godspeed: Voices of the Reformation possesses a startling relevance for today’s reader, offering a word of hope and comfort. The reformer’s voice is clear and bright and comes to us with the authority of heaven.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating collection of primary source documents furnishes the accounts—in their own words—of those who initiated, advanced, or lived through the Reformation. Starting in 1500, Europe transformed from a united Christendom into a continent bitterly divided between Catholicism and Protestantism by the end of the century. This illuminating text reveals what happened during that period by presenting the social, religious, economic, political, and cultural life of the European Reformation of the 16th century in the words of those who lived through it. Detailed and comprehensive, the work includes 60 primary source documents that shed light on the character, personalities, and events of that time and provides context, questions, and activities for successfully incorporating these documents into academic research and reading projects. A special section provides guidelines for better evaluating and understanding primary documents. Topics include late medieval religion, Martin Luther, reformation in Germany and the Peasants' War, the rise of Calvinism, and the English Reformation.

Book Synopsis Voices of the English Reformation by : John N. King
Download or read book Voices of the English Reformation written by John N. King and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2014-03-26 with total page 411 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning the different phases of the English Reformation from William Tyndale's 1525 translation of the Bible to the death of Elizabeth I in 1603, John King's magisterial anthology brings together a range of texts inaccessible in standard collections of early modern works. The readings demonstrate how Reformation ideas and concerns pervade well-known writings by Spenser, Shakespeare, Sidney, and Marlowe and help foreground such issues as the relationship between church and state, the status of women, and resistance to unjust authority. Plays, dialogues, and satires in which clever laypersons outwit ignorant clerics counterbalance texts documenting the controversy over the permissibility of theatrical performance. Moving biographical and autobiographical narratives from John Foxe's Book of Martyrs and other sources document the experience of Protestants such as Anne Askew and Hugh Latimer, both burned at the stake, of recusants, Jesuit missionaries, and many others. In this splendid collection, the voices ring forth from a unique moment when the course of British history was altered by the fate and religious convictions of the five queens: Catherine Parr, Lady Jane Grey, Mary I, Mary Queen of Scots, and Elizabeth I.

Book excerpt: I have bought together eight published and unpublished articles on the Protestant Reformation in this small book. These articles deal with a range of theological issues. Chapter one explores the life and teachings of Jan Hus, one of the most significant pre-reformer whose life and theology set the stage for the Protestant Reformation of the Sixteenth century. Chapter two describes the core theological issue-of Anabaptism-Discipleship. Chapter three compares the teachings of Anabaptism with those of the Seventh-day Adventists. Chapter 4 analyzes the Radicals' reformers' views on the Holy Spirit. Chapters five, six, and seven focuses on Martin Luther, considered the towering figure of the Reformation. In chapter five, I reexamine Luther's views on death and dying. Chapter six explores his revolutionary views on marriage, sex, and the family. Chapter seven analyzes his enigmatic and paradoxical theology. Chapter eight concludes the book by surveying a representative view of the major Protestant reformers of the sixteenth century on what happens to the wicked at the final judgment and the nature of hell.Trevor O'Reggio is professor of Church History and currently chair of that department at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University. He has been teaching at Andrews University since 1998. He earned a PhD in History from the University of Chicago in 1997 and in 2006 a DMin in Marriage and Family from Gordon-Conwell Seminary in Boston. He has authored several books and articles.
