A Companion to the Reformation in Scotland, c.1525â1638
Frameworks of Change and Development
Series: - Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition, Volume: 100
Editor:
This book presents customized chapters by 28 authors on the evolution of the Scottish Reformation from the late 1520s to 1638. The book has broad thematic frameworks into which the specific chapters fit. There are 10 such major themes, namely: external and internal pressures for change; breakthrough and revolution; theological and philosophical formulations; varieties of dissemination and implementation; humanism and higher education; legal systems and moral order; appropriations in literary and popular cultures; outsiders; evolution of new national identity; historiographical traditions and prospective developments. While there are introductory elements, the chapters both recall previous studies and off er new research. Concerns of the book are to recall Reformation core religious dimensions and to highlight Scottish contribution to the rich tapestry of the Reformation in Europe.

âEvery reader of this fine collection will come away having learned something interesting about the Scottish Reformation. Scholars will use it as an important resource for years to come and its many chapters and their detailed bibliographies will lead historians to new insights on ideas that are most fundamental to understanding Scotland in the past or the present.â

âThe standard of these chapters is very high. Each is followed by a considerable bibliography that features primary and secondary sources. One reaches the conclusion that, especially for those who desire to teach this era to others, yet who lack access to a research library in which materials on this era are well represented, this Companion would prove to be an indispensable aid; it isâin essenceâa consolidation of current research in this field.â

âThis is an excellent overview of a diverse array of issues and developments in the study of the Reformation in Scotland.â
