The common subject of the sources is the Reformation, and these texts demonstrate the themes and impacts of religious reform in Europe and around the globe. Scholars once framed the Reformation as a sixteenth-century European dispute between Protestant and Catholic churches and states, but now look expansively at connections and entanglements between different confessions, faiths, time periods, and geographical areas. The Reformation coincided with Europeans' expanding reach across the globe as traders, settlers, and colonists, but the role that religion played in this drive has yet to be fully explored. These readings highlight these reformers' engagements with Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and indigenous spirituality, and the entanglement of Christian reform with colonialism, trade, enslavement, and racism.
Offering a sustained, comparative, and interdisciplinary exploration of religious transformations in the early modern world, this collection of primary sources is invaluable to both undergraduate and postgraduate students working on theology, the Reformation, and early modern society.
Reviews / Votes
'As a term 'Catholic Reformation' has long been reckoned, by not a few, as a contradiction in terms. Meanwhile, 'Global Reformation' has been considered as an even harder sell: until now, that is. This volume, unprecedented both in thematic as well as geographical range, redraws our understanding of religious change in the early modern globe in fundamental ways. It is, without a shadow of doubt, the most comprehensive and intelligently chosen collection of primary sources I have ever encountered for use at university level (and beyond). This is very much a history of the Reformation for the 'glocalised' 21st century and it deserves the widest possible readership.'Simon Ditchfield, University of York, UK
'The Global Reformations Sourcebook is highly imaginative in terms of the breadth of coverage and freshness of approach to the Reformation and its far-reaching influence. Traditional theological and political concerns are placed alongside the experiences of less prominent individuals, both female and male, Christian and non-Christian. Terpstra expands the discussion to include Jewish and Muslim communities as well as indigenous African, American and Asian people. The results are at once challenging and appealing.'

The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
