For readers interested in early modern England and the Reformation, this book sheds new light on radical Protestant views of reform and godly identity. It significantly revises our understanding of central episodes and issues in the English Reformation, the nature of early English Protestantism and the development of Puritanism.

The Cambridge Companion to Reformation Theology is a comprehensive and accessible guide to the theology and theologians of the Reformation period. Each chapter is written by a leading authority in the field and provides an up-to-date account and analysis of the thought associated with a major figure or movement.

The first major study of the understandings of the Eucharist and its liturgy that divided sixteenth century western Christendom. It follows the words of institution - 'this is my body', 'this do', and 'remembrance of me' - as theologians took them up and, from their divergent understandings, set forth distinctive forms of worship.

The Reformation and the encounter between Europe and the Western hemisphere have long been treated as separate events. Lee Palmer Wandel brings the two narratives together, casting a history of human difference, of multiple understandings of Christianity, each shaped by the encounter with unknown worlds.
