The Reception of Continental Reformation in Britain cover

This volume brings together reformation and reception studies by exploring the relationship between reformations on the European continent and in Britain. The 11 papers shed new light on familiar associations, draw attention to under-explored relationships, and identify how British reception in turn contributed to continued reform on the continent. Different aspects of reception from biblical translation and book history to popular politics and theological polemic are addressed. The volume also prompts further questions regarding British integration and the perception (and invention) of England's 'exceptional' status.

There are no weak essays here: all deserve their place. * Glen Bowman, Church History *
This volume contributes to that scholrarly movement of thought by rediscovering the Continental dimentions of the Reformations in Britain ... All most enlightening, reminding us of the 'strange death of Lutheran England' and the clear shift after Edward VI to a more Reformed version of Protestantism that characterised the settled state of the Church here in this formative period. * Dr Lee Gatiss, Churchman *
