The Contentious Triangle
This remarkable volume honours one of the twentieth century's foremost church historians as the century draws to a close. It was Williams who coined the term "Radical Reformation" to describe the movement that helped shape the contours of the world that was to come after the reformers, far more than they or their Catholic and Protestant opponents ever realised. The sixteenth century saw not only Western Christianity split into denominations and sects, but also the rise of the "contentious triangle" of church, state, and university.
Spiritual and Anabaptist Writers
An important volume of scholarship, this book presents a collection of documents previously little known and inaccessible to the English-speaking world. This volume includes writings of the Radical Reformation--Anabaptist and Spiritualist--as well as three treatises by Juan de Valdes as a representative of Evangelical Catholicism. Long recognized for the quality of its translations, introductions, explanatory notes, and indexes, the Library of Christian Classics provides scholars and students with modern English translations of some of the most significant Christian theological texts in history. Through these works--each written prior to the end of the sixteenth century--contemporary readers are able to engage the ideas that have shaped Christian theology and the church through the centuries.
History of the Polish Reformation
Stanislas Lubieniecki's History, composed in the middle of the seventeenth century, remains the most comprehensive account of the people and events of the period. Written after the Polish Brethren and Sisters were exiled, his History uniquely captures "from the egg" the century of theological speculation, ethnic and political ferment, and international strife that culminated in the banishment of the Polish Brethren from their homeland in 1660. Beneath the tumult and intrigue, Lubieniecki (d. 1675) also conveys one movement's ardent and prolonged search for a pure and simple life of gospel values, an intellectual honesty that did not flinch from the doctrinal consequences, and authentic commu...
Theology of the Reformers

A book that will intrigue and inform those concerned with the church in a time of Reformation and how it relates to the church of today. Copyright © Libri GmbH. All rights reserved.
Wilderness and Paradise in Christian Thought
Paradise or wasteland--the wilderness has always been a challenge to Westerners. Wilderness and Paradise in Christian Thought traces the exciting theme of the quest for the wilderness--both physical and metaphysical--to create a new and important perspective for understanding Christian civilization. With a wealth of knowledge, a renowned historian presents the biblical understanding of the religious and ethical significance of the desert and how this understanding has influenced later Christian history and culture. Dr. Williams specifically applies the paradise theme to the university today and shows the continuing vitality of this ancient concept.
The Radical Reformation
This 1991 collection of writings by early Reformation radicals illustrates both the diversity and the areas of agreement in their political thinking.
The Radical Reformation and the Making of Modern Europe
In The Radical Reformation and the Making of Modern Europe, Mario Biagioni presents an account of the lives and thoughts of some radical reformers of the sixteenth century (Bernardino Ochino, Francesco Pucci, Fausto Sozzini, and Christian Francken), showing that the Radical Reformation was not merely a subplot of heretical history within the larger narrative of the Magisterial Reformation. Religious radicalism was primarily an extraordinary laboratory of ideas, which played a pivotal role in the rise of modern Europe: it influenced the intellectual process leading to the cultural revolution of the Enlightenment. Secularism, toleration, and rationalism ― three basic principles of Western civilization ― are part of its cultural heritage.
