This module will probe several doctrinal themes at the heart of the Protestant Reformation, a variegated movement of religious reform that changed the face of Europe over the course of the sixteenth century. Setting this movement against the background of late Medieval Catholicism, we will explore several strands of Reformation thought. Particular attention will be given to examining the leading figures, concepts, texts, and practices that distinguished the various traditions emerging from the Reformation.
