A Reformation Reader

Includes a range of sources, from the most frequently cited works to personal narratives and letters, comments on the social mores of the time, and some sermons. It offers full coverage not only of Martin Luther and the Lutheran Reformation, Ulrich Zwingli and the Radical Reformation, and John Calvin, but also of the late-medieval background, the Catholic Reformation, the Council of Trent, and the English Reformation. Helpful introductions orient the reader to each chapter, and shorter introductions contextualize each document.
