The course will look at this question holistically through the lenses of theology, society, gender and politics, and place emphasis on primary sources related to these issues. Topics include early modern Catholicism, humanism and the proto-Reformers of Europe, the reforms of Luther and their impacts on Germany, Calvin and the “Calvinist” reform of Switzerland and France, the “Radical Reformation,” the Reformation in England and Scotland and Catholic reform.
