The Westminster Handbook to Theologies of the Reformation

Enhanced by an excellent bibliography, these articles by major scholars will provide a useful student guide through the labyrinth of Reformation theologies."--Carter Lindberg, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Boston University School of Theology, and author of the European Reformations" ""A fine array of expert authors, well-crafted and informative entries, and a deft editorial eye makes this handbook more than handy--it will be an indispensable tool for both those who teach and those who learn Reformation theology. Holder and Westminster John Knox Press are to be commended for their labors on behalf of all who have a serious interest in sixteenth-century thought, from the beginning student to the lifelong student."--Thomas J. Davis, Professor of Religious Studies and Thomas H. Lake Scholar in Religion and Philanthropy, Indiana University-Purdue University, Indianapolis, and author of This is My Body: The Presence of Christ in Reformation Thought" ""Just as user-friendly but much more accurate and relevant than an Internet search, this comprehensive yet concise collection of key concepts and figures will prove an invaluable aid to students of Reformation thought and history. Great thanks to Ward Holder and the team of contributors!"--Barbara Pitkin, Senior Lecturer in Religious Studies, Department of Religious Studies, Stanford University, and author of What Pure Eyes Could See: Calvin's Doctrine of Faith in Its Exegetical Context."--BOOK JACKET.
