The Reformation Theologians is the ideal introduction to the study of the sixteenth-century Reformations. It introduces the theological context; though; and contributions of theologians from this period; offering students and scholars an essential resource and insight. This comprehensive and lively book discusses all the major strands of Reformation thought and explores the work of a range of influential figures; including theologians and non-theologians; humanists; clergy and laity; men and women. The contributors to this volume are leading scholars in the field of historical and systematic theology. Accessibly structured; it covers the Humanist; Lutheran; Reformed; Roman Catholic; and "Radical" Theologians. An introductory chapter explores the interpretations of the Reformation and a concluding chapter explains the influence of Reformation theologies on the modern period. The text also includes useful bibliographies and a glossary of theological terms.

Review
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. How they succeeded in becoming soldiers!!!By M. WilsonNot much is written about women who disguised themselves to fight along side men during the civil war and many may ask how did the do it? Medical exams were a lot different back then when a physical for a man going into the infantry consisted of having good front teeth (if they knocked them out to avoid going into the army; the army just put them into the artillery where teeth weren't needed to bite open the paper cartridge) and three fingers to hold and open the cartridges. A recruit didn't have to undress as is done today so it was easy for a woman to get pass the medical inspector. This gives the reader insight into women who for various reasons wanted to fight during the civil war. They served on both sides and I recommend this book and others like it to anyone who wants to learn more about women in the war. Some hid their gender so well that they were not discovered until either being wounded or killed. One was not discovered until years later when she was injured in an automobile accident. Good reading!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Good book.By SandyI didn't realize so many women (of those the government was aware of) fought and/or died for their beliefs. Kind of makes more recent worries of females fighting with men even more petty then I originally thought.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. not what was expected.By RBPerhaps good for children in the third grade; but not worthwhile for adults. For people interested in the role of women in the American Civil War; there are great books out there; including one with a good discussion of the woman on the cover of this book. This book went to Goodwill immediately.
