237,18€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In the last thirty years, understandings of the European reformations have been transformed. A generation of scholars has demonstrated how radically wide-ranging these movements were. Across family life, politics, material culture and philosophy, the reformations are now at the very heart of our understanding not just of early modern Europe, but of religion and identity in general. This volume collects recent work from past and present members of the European Reformation Research Group, exploring key fronts in contemporary Reformation Studies, achieving a broad view of how historiography has developed in recent decades - and where it seems set to go next.

Beauty Of Belief - Decorating The Wurttemberg Church During The Reformation

de Roisin Watson

~~173,58€~~ 156,22€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Beauty of Belief sheds new light on Lutheran relationships with ecclesiastical decoration in southwest Germany following the Duchy of Wurttemberg's Reformation in 1534. Based on extensive original archival research and engagement with surviving images and objects, Roisin Watson compellingly demonstrates how Lutherans moved away from initial acts of iconoclasm and towards embracing the possibilities of the religious image in their devotional routines. She explores the interactions of Wurttemberg rulers, pastors, and congregations with their ecclesiastical spaces across the political upheavals of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In doing so, this book tells not only the story of the visual culture of the Reformation, but an account of Wurttemberg's Reformation itself.

Building The Church Of England - The Book Of Common Prayer And The Edwardian Reformation

de Stephen Tong

173,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Were mid-Tudor evangelicals roaring lions or meek lambs? Did they struggle with a minority complex, or were they comfortable with their position of political ascendancy under Edward VI? How did their theological blueprint of the 'True Church' fit their temporal realities? By relocating the Book of Common Prayer at the centre of the English Reformation, Stephen Tong gives new significance to two underacknowledged drivers of reform: ecclesiology and liturgy. Edwardian reformers caused a sensation in England by engaging with these questions, which spilled over into Ireland, and continued to cast a shadow over subsequent generations of the English Protestants.

John Ponet (1516-1556): Scholar, Bishop, Insurgent

de Mark Earngey

~~156,35€~~ 140,72€ 10% IMEDIATO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 John Ponet (1516-1556) was a central figure in the English Reformation-an intellectual, ecclesiastical leader, and political thinker. This monograph revisits Ponet's contributions to theology, humanism, and political theory, revealing his vital role in the Edwardian Reformation as a leading member of the Cambridge "Athenians". Using newly discovered archival material and his reconstructed personal library, this study offers a fresh perspective on Ponet's influence, from his promotion of evangelical reforms under Edward VI to his advocacy for limited monarchy and resistance against tyranny under Mary. By rightly remembering Ponet, this book challenges the prevailing narratives and reshapes our understanding of the early English Reformation and mid-Tudor England.

Music And Religious Education In Early Modern Europe - The Musical Edification Of The Church

173,58€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Exploring the nexus of music and religious education involves fundamental questions regarding music itself, its nature, its interpretation, and its importance in relation to both education and the religious practices into which it is integrated. This cross-disciplinary volume of essays offers the first comprehensive set of studies to examine the role of music in educational and religious reform and the underlying notions of music in early modern Europe. It elucidates the context and manner in which music served as a means of religious teaching and learning during that time, thereby identifying the religio-cultural and intellectual foundations of early modern European musical phenomena and their significance for exploring the interplay of music and religious education today.

Cultures Of Care - Domestic Welfare, Discipline And The Church Of Scotland, C. 1600-1689

de Chris R. Langley

200,08€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Cultures of Care: Domestic Welfare, Discipline and the Church of Scotland, c. 1600-1689 explores voluntary networks of charity and their interaction with the Reformed Church of Scotland. Whereas most previous histories have assessed the growth of institutional charity, this book contends that the Reformed Church of Scotland was heavily reliant on informal, domestic modes of self-help throughout the seventeenth century. The existence and widespread acceptance of informal care dramatically changes our understanding of the impact of the Calvinist Reformation. Local ecclesiastical and secular leaders did not have a concerted policy to affect or ameliorate informal networks of care. Reformed authorities were members of these networks, as well as agents to police them, collapsing distinctions between informal and formal modes of Calvinist authority.

Excommunication Of Elizabeth I - Faith, Politics, And Resistance In Post-Reformation England, 1570-1603

de Aislinn Muller

227,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Excommunication of Elizabeth I, Aislinn Muller examines the excommunication and deposition of Queen Elizabeth I of England by the Roman Catholic Church, and its political afterlife during her reign. Muller shows that Elizabeth's excommunication was a crucial turning point for both Catholics and Protestants, one that irrevocably changed attitudes towards the queen, widened political participation and resistance, and posed a destabilising threat to her regime. The Excommunication of Elizabeth I demonstrates how this event exacerbated religious tensions in England's foreign and domestic politics, and how Elizabeth's conflict with the papacy shaped the development of anti-Catholicism in post-Reformation England.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Calvinism in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth 1548-1648 offers an in-depth history of the Reformed Churches in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in their first hundred years. Kazimierz Bem analyses church polity, liturgy, the practices of Calvinist church discipline and piety, and the reasons for conversion to and from Calvinism in all strata of the society. Drawing on extensive research in primary sources, Bem challenges the dominant narrative of Protestant decline after 1570 and argues for a continued flourishing of Calvinism in the Commonwealth until the 1630s.

Between Popes, Inquisitors And Princes - How The First Jesuits Negotiated Religious Crisis In Early Modern Italy

de Jessica M. Dalton

231,88€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Between Popes, Inquisitors and Princes Jessica Dalton uses extensive, original archival research to provide the first history of a unique and controversial papal privilege that allowed the first Jesuits to absolve heretics in sixteenth-century Italy without involving bishops or inquisitors. Dalton uses the story of this remarkable privilege to reconsider two central aspects of Jesuit history: their role in the Counter-Reformation and their relationship with the papacy. She convincingly argues that, in the aftermath of the Protestant Reformation, the Jesuits were valued collaborators of popes, inquisitors and princes not for their obedience and subservience but rather because they worked with an autonomy and flexibility that allowed them to convert heretics where political barriers and popular hostility hindered inquisitors and prelates.

Roger Ascham And His Sixteenth-Century World

265,00€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The life of Roger Ascham (1515/16-1568) coincided with the reigns of four Tudor monarchs, the rise and death of Luther, the Council of Trent and the wholesale division of Christendom. He operated in arenas including Cambridge University, the court, the continent and the capital, and his writings engaged with the most important intellectual concerns of his age, including humanism, educational reform, religion and politics. In this volume historians, literary specialists and classicists have worked together both to re-evaluate more familiar territory in Ascham's life and work, and to illuminate previously untapped sources. Their essays reveal Ascham as a considerably more significant figure than previous scholarship has suggested. Two appendices provide valuable further biographical and bibliographical material. Contributors: Andrew Burnett, Cyndia Susan Clegg, J.S. Crown, Sam Kennerley, Ceri Law, Micha Lazarus, John F. McDiarmid, Lucy R. Nicholas, Mike Pincombe, Richard Rex, Cathy Shrank, and Tracey A.

239,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 This book highlights the famous 'Athenian tribe': a group of humanist scholars in the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and Elizabeth I, who resolved many difficult problems concerning the Tudor succession, diplomacy, and the English Church.

William Cecil, Lord Burghley, Queen Elizabeth's invaluable chief minister, was the most influential of them all. The Cambridge Connection explores the interdependency of scholarship, politics, and religion in the sixteenth century. The 'Athenian tribe' was essential to the shaping of mid-Tudor cultural life. They left a lasting imprint on early modern England.

Cicero In Heaven - The Roman Rhetor And Luther'S Reformation

de Carl P.E. Springer

229,23€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Cicero in Heaven: The Roman Rhetor and Luther's Reformation, Carl Springer traces the historical outlines of Cicero's rhetorical legacy, paying special attention to the momentous impact that he had on Luther, his colleagues at the University of Wittenberg, and later Lutherans. While the revival of interest in Cicero's rhetoric is more often associated with the Renaissance than with the Reformation, it would be a mistake to overlook the important role that Luther and other reformers played in securing Cicero's place in the curricula of schools in modern Europe (and America). Luther's attitude towards Cicero was complex, and the final chapter of the book discusses negative reactions to Cicero in the Reformation and the centuries that followed.

Reformation And The Practice Of Toleration - Dutch Religious History In The Early Modern Era

de Benjamin J. Kaplan

234,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Dutch Republic was the most religiously diverse land in early modern Europe, gaining an international reputation for toleration. In Reformation and the Practice of Toleration, Benjamin Kaplan explains why the Protestant Reformation had this outcome in the Netherlands and how people of different faiths managed subsequently to live together peacefully. Bringing together fourteen essays by the author, the book examines the opposition of so-called Libertines to the aspirations of Calvinist reformers for uniformity and discipline. It analyzes the practical arrangements by which multiple religious groups were accommodated. It traces the dynamics of religious life in Utrecht and other mixed communities. And it explores the relationships that developed between people of different faiths, especially in 'mixed' marriages.

Parish Clergy Wives In Elizabethan England

de Anne Thompson

239,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Parish Clergy Wives in Elizabethan England, Anne Thompson shifts the emphasis from the institution of clerical marriage to the people and personalities involved. Women who have hitherto been defined by their supposed obscurity and unsuitability are shown to have anticipated and exhibited the character, virtues, and duties associated with the archetypal clergy wife of later centuries. Through adept use of an extensive and eclectic range of archival material, this book offers insights into the perception and lived experience of ministers' wives. In challenging accepted views on the social status of clergy wives and their role and reception within the community, new light is thrown on a neglected but crucial aspect of religious, social, and women's history.

Personal Luther - Essays On The Reformer From A Cultural Historical Perspective

de Susan Karant-Nunn

193,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 Overwhelmingly, Martin Luther has been treated as the generator of ideas concerning the relationship between God and humankind. The Personal Luther deliberately departs from that church-historiographic tradition. Luther was a voluble and irrepressible divine. Even though he had multiple ancillary interests, such as singing, playing the lute, appreciating the complexities of nature, and observing his children, his preoccupation was, as he quickly saw it, bringing the Word of God to the people. This book is not about Luther's theology except insofar as any ideational construct is itself an expression of the thinker who frames it. Luther frequently couched his affective utterances within a theological framework. Nor is it a biography; it does not portray a whole life. Rather, it concentrates on several heretofore neglected aspects of the Reformer's existence and personality. The subjects that appear in this book are meant to demonstrate what such core-taking on a range of mainly unexplored facets of the Reformer's personality and experience can yield. It will open the way for other secular researchers to explore the seemingly endless interests of this complicated individual. It will also show that perspectives of cultural historians offer the broadest possible evidentiary base within which to analyze a figure of the past.

Francis Turretin (1623-87) And The Reformed Tradition

de Nicholas A. Cumming

221,28€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this biography of Reformed theologian Francis Turretin (1623-87), Nicholas A. Cumming provides critical context for the life and theology of this important seventeenth-century theologian and his impact on the Reformed tradition as a whole. Turretin has commonly been identified as a strict scholastic theologian; this work places Turretin in his broader context, analyzing his life and theology in terms of the political and religious aspects of post-Reformation Europe and his posthumous influence on nineteenth- and twentieth-century Reformed theology. This work begins with a biography of Turretin, including his education and ministry, then proceeds to the context of Turretin's theology in the early modern and modern periods, particularly in relation to his major work The Institutes of Elenctic Theology.

Riches And Reform - Ecclesiastical Wealth In St Andrews, C.1520-1580

de Bess Rhodes

181,53€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The Scottish Reformation is often presumed to have had little economic impact. Traditionally, scholars maintained that Scotland's late medieval church gradually secularised its estates, and that the religious changes of 1560 barely disrupted an ongoing trend. In Riches and Reform Bess Rhodes challenges this assumption with a study of church finance in Scotland's religious capital of St Andrews, a place once regarded as the 'cheif and mother citie of the Realme'. Drawing on largely unpublished charters, rentals, and account books, Riches and Reform argues that in St Andrews the Reformation triggered a rapid, large-scale, and ultimately ruinous redistribution of ecclesiastical wealth. Communal assets built up over generations were suddenly dispersed through a combination of official policies, individual opportunism, and a crisis in local administration, leading the post-Reformation churches and city of St Andrews into 'poverte and decay'.

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 The English Bible in the Early Modern World addresses the most significant book available in the English language in the centuries after the Reformation, and investigates its impact on popular religion and reading practices, and on theology, religious controversy and intellectual history between 1530 and 1700. Individual chapters discuss the responses of both clergy and laity to the sacred text, with particular emphasis on the range of settings in which the Bible was encountered and the variety of responses prompted by engagement with the Scriptures. Particular attention is given to debates around the text and interpretation of the Bible, to an emerging Protestant understanding of Scripture and to challenges it faced over the course of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.

Reformation Of Historical Thought

de Mark A. Lotito

292,83€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In The Reformation of Historical Thought, Mark Lotito re-examines the development of Western historiography by concentrating on Philipp Melanchthon (1497-1560) and his universal history, Carion's Chronicle (1532). With the Chronicle, Melanchthon overturned the medieval papal view of history, and he offered a distinctly Wittenberg perspective on the foundations of the "modern" European world. Through its immense popularity, the Chronicle assumed extraordinary significance across the divides of language, geography and confession. Indeed, Melanchthon's intervention would become the point of departure for theologians, historians and jurists to debate the past, present and future of the Holy Roman Empire. Through the Chronicle, the Wittenberg reformation of historical thought became an integral aspect of European intellectual culture for the centuries that followed.

Roger Ascham'S 'A Defence Of The Lord'S Supper' - Latin Text And English Translation

de Lucy R. Nicholas

140,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 It has been estimated that well over half the books published during the sixteenth century were in Latin. Many have never been translated and hence garnered little scholarly attention. However, a good number of them have a direct bearing on the history of the religious Reformation and its actors. One of these is Roger Ascham's Apologia pro Caena Dominica, a theological tract on the Eucharist which trenchantly attacked the Catholic Mass and sacrificing priests. Composed in Cambridge at the start of Edward VI's reign in 1547, it was published posthumously some thirty years later in 1577. Here for the first time Lucy Nicholas offers a modern edition of Ascham's Apologia that sets forth the Latin original with parallel English translation.

Nicodemites - Faith And Concealment Between Italy And Tudor England

de M. Anne Overell

227,90€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Nicodemites: Faith and Concealment Between Italy and Tudor England, Anne Overell examines a rarely glimpsed aspect of sixteenth-century religious strife: the thinkers, clerics, and rulers, who concealed their faith. This work goes beyond recent scholarly interest in conformity to probe inward dilemmas and the spiritual and cultural meanings of pretence. Among the dissimulators who appear here are Cardinal Reginald Pole and his circle in Italy and in England, and also John Cheke and William Cecil. Although Protestant and Catholic polemicists condemned all Nicodemites, most of them survived reformation violence, while their habits of silence and secrecy became influential. This study concludes that widespread evasion about religious belief contributed to the erratic development of toleration. "Anne Overell is an accomplished practitioner of history as a sideways glance, revealing subtleties and contours that others have missed. In doing so, she enriches the story of the Reformation and helps us see its humanity and nuance more vividly and completely." - Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church, University of Oxford

Responses To Religious Division, C. 1580-1620 - Public And Private, Divine And Temporal

de Natasha Constantinidou

206,70€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In this study Natasha Constantinidou considers the views articulated by the scholars Pierre Charron (1541-1603), Justus Lipsius (1547-1606), Paolo Sarpi (1552-1623) and King James VI and I (1566-1625), in response to the religious ruptures of their time. Though rarely juxtaposed, all four authors were deeply affected by the religious divisions. In their works, they denounced religious zeal, focusing on non-dogmatic piety. Drawing on classical tradition and church history, they set out to offer consolation to the people of a war-torn continent and to discuss means of reconciliation. Their responses sought to define the role of religion in public and private. They emphasised the need for lay control of religious affairs as the only way of ensuring peace, whilst circumscribing belief and its practice to the private realm.

Faith And Fraternity - London Livery Companies And The Reformation 1510-1603

de Laura Branch

193,45€ + 10% EM CARTÃO

DISPONIBILIDADE IMEDIATA

 In Faith and Fraternity Laura Branch provides the first sustained comparative analysis of London's livery companies during the Reformation. Focussing on the Grocers and the Drapers, this book challenges the view that merchants were zealous early Protestants and that the companies to which they belonged adapted to the Reformation by secularising their ethos. Rather, the rhetoric of Christianity, particularly appeals to brotherly love, punctuated the language of corporate governance throughout the century, and helped the liveries retain a spiritual culture. These institutions comprised a spectrum of religious identities yet members managed to coexist relatively peacefully; in this way the liveries help us to understand better how the transition from a Catholic to a Protestant society was negotiated.
