Graeme Murdock, D.Phil. (1996), University of Oxford, is Associate Professor of European History at Trinity College Dublin. His publications on Central European history include Calvinism on the Frontier: International Calvinism and the Reformed Church of Hungary and Transylvania (Oxford, 2000).Howard Louthan, Ph.D. (1994), Princeton University, is Professor of History and Director of the Center for Austrian Studies at the University of Minnesota. His publications include The Quest for Compromise: Peacemakers in Counter-Reformation Vienna (Cambridge, 2006) and Converting Bohemia: Force and Persuasion in the Catholic Reformation (Cambridge, 2011).

“The authors of A Companion to the Reformation in Central Europe have provided an outstanding gateway to stretch the Reformation farther east and complicate the familiar tales of the Reformation. […] They make a strong case that examinations of the Reformation without Central Europe are simply incomplete. The work's broad scope, geographic and thematic organization, and wealth of footnotes makes Central Europe more accessible to scholars who wish to push their topics to the East. It also, to some extent, invalidates the excuse that the region is unapproachable because of the formidable language boundaries. Scholars should be aware of this considerable and fascinating area of Europe, and this book is an excellent place to start. This work enriches our understanding of the creation and reception of Reformation ideas and facilitates a European understanding of the Reformation just in time for the 500-year anniversary.” - Reid S. Weber, Fitchburg State University, in: The Medieval Review 16.11.37“A magisterial, insightful, and replete collection that approaches the tangled web of Central European Reformation(s) from a variety of contextual focal points.” - Władysław Roczniak, Bronx Community College, CUNY, in: Renaissance Quarterly 70.3 (Fall 2017), pp. 1176-1178“In addition to extensive quotations from source texts in the original languages, the volume contains illustrations, a timeline, a map of Central Europe, ca. 1550, a glossary of place names, notes on contributors, and an index. Overall, it is to be commended for managing to cover the entire temporal and geographical scope of its topic and for implicitly revealing difficult areas of Reformation scholarship. It is to be read by anybody interested in the European Reformation, especially in its geographical and societal aspects.” - Philipp Reisner, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf, in: Sixteenth Century Journal 48.2 (2017), pp. 510-512“Grâce à la très belle qualité globale de ce recueil, Louthan et Murdock atteignent pleinement leur objectif. Ils offrent un aperçu synthétique sans équivalent d’une partie encore insuffisamment étudiée des mutations religieuses qui ont bouleversé la chrétienté européenne à l’époque des réformes.” - Hugues Daussy, Université de Franche-Comté, in: Renaissance and Reformation 41.3 (summer 2018), pp. 245-247
