Sister Reformations - Schwesterreformationen

This volume presents the papers given at a symposion in 2009 in Berlin which marked the 450th anniversary of the Elizabethan Settlement. The authors examine the history of the Reformation in the Holy Roman Empire and England side-by-side with an eye to their interdependence. It is the first endeavour of its kind to which specialists from Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, and the USA have joined hands.Aspects of the theme considered here include the ways in which knowledge of and influence from the Reformation in the Empire reached England, theological and liturgical contributions, the political dimension of Reformations exchanges, and the manner in which the Reformation was consolidated on the one side by the peace of Augsburg and on the other by the Elizabethan Settlement.Dorothea Wendebourg: Vorwort/ Preface - Diarmaid MacCulloch: Sixteenth-century English Protestantism and the Continent - Carl R.Trueman: Early English Evangelicals: Three examples - Rory McEntegart: Henry VIII and the German Lutherans: a reassessment - Dorothea Wendebourg: Die deutschen Reformatoren und England/ The German Reformers and England - Ashley Null: Princely Marital Problems and the Reformers' Solutions - N.
