Beskrivning
The Protestant Reformation of the 16th century has traditionally been viewed as marking the onset of modernity in Europe. It finally broke up the federal Christendom of the middle ages, under the leadership of the papacy and substituted for it a continent of autonomous and national states, independent of Rome.The Historical Dictionary of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation provides a comprehensive account of two chains of events—the Protestant Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation—that have left an enduring imprint on Europe, America, and the world at large. This is done through a chronology, an introductory essay, a bibliography, and over 300 cross-referenced dictionary entries on persons, places, countries, institutions, doctrines, ideas, and events.

At the end of the sixteenth century, the political and social order of Europe and the unity of Western Christianity were forever changed. Many of the persons, places, theological controversies, and events from that time are described in more than 300 entries in this reference work. Preceding the dictionary entries is an introductory essay on the Reformation and Counter-Reformation along with a chronology of events relevant to that tumultuous time. Although the entries themselves do not include suggestions for further reading, an extensive bibliography concludes the work....The Historical Dictionary of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation treats the major figures and topics of this period and will be a useful addition to academic and large public library collections.
