“this volume is both a worthy tribute to the scholar whom it celebrates, and an excellent introduction to the kind of work which he has inspired in others.” – Stephen Hampton, Peterhouse, Cambridge, in: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 66, No. 1 (January 2015), pp. 193-194“Church and School in Early Modern Protestantism will leave many readers with a long “to read” list, especially considering the many referenced primary source materials. It is hard to envision a more fitting tribute to Richard Muller for his vital research in historic Reformed theology.” – Ryan M. McGraw, in: Puritan Reformed Journal, Vol. 6, No. 2 (2014), pp. 359-363“The three editors … are to be commended for arranging a volume that does justice to the career of a man whose influence on Reformation and Post-Reformation studies will be felt for many generations.” – Mark Jones, University of the Free State (Bloemfontein), in: Church History and Religious Culture, Vol. 95, No. 1 (2015), pp. 93-94“a fitting tribute to the man and the scholar […] Students and scholars will find many essays that will provoke, illuminate, and explicate the past as well as serve the present age.” – David M. Whitford, Baylor University, in: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 69, No. 2 (Summer 2016), pp. 753-755“A great deal of scholarship has too often juxtaposed scholasticism and piety, resulting in misunderstandings of the relationship between Protestant churches of the early modern era and the theology taught in their schools.” – Jim West, Quartz Hill School of Theology, in: Zwinglius Redivivus (blog), October 29, 2013
