A major reference work on all aspects of theology in the reformation period.

This is a major reference work on all aspects of theology in the reformation period. This book will introduce the main theological topics of Reformation theology in language that is clear and concise. Theology in the Reformation era can be complicated and contentious. This volume aims to cut through the theological jargon and explain what people believed and why. The volume will begin with an essay aimed at explaining to students how one can approach the study of sixteenth century theology. It will include a guide to major events, persons, doctrines, and movements. Finally, in-depth essays by noted scholars will complete the volume.

"The Companion has a clear focus and readership in mind, both of which remain consistent throughout. This is a sign of an excellent editor. The contributions are genuinely thought-provoking and challenging towards further research... The quality of the content is uniform throughout, not one essay stands out as less useful or less well written than the others... So, a volume which surprises in many ways. A volume which will be extremely useful to those writing essays or starting research, to be sure; but a volume that will be helpful to those of us further down the research path too. I recommend this book without reserve. It certainly accomplishes what it sets out to do." - Baptist Quarterly
