The Quest for Christian Unity from Nicaea to the Twenty-First Century
In our religiously and politically polarized landscape, it is worth recalling that the quest for Christian unity is as old as the faith itself. Unsurprisingly, Christian unity has remained a major theme for articles in the journal Church History since its founding in 1932, even to the extent that one of the American Society of Church History’s annual prizes came to be focused on issues of unity and disunity in light of the diversity of global Chr…

The New Cambridge History of the Bible
This volume charts the Bible's progress from the end of the Middle Ages to the Enlightenment. During this period, for the first time since antiquity, the Latin Church focused on recovering and re-establishing the text of Scripture in its original languages. It considered the theological challenges of treating Scripture as another ancient text edited with the tools of philology. This crucial period also saw the creation of many definitive translat…

The Consensus Tigurinus and the Göppingen eucharistic confession: Continuing instabilities in Geneva's relationship with Zurich and the Lutheran world
The Zurich Agreement of 1549 between Calvin and Bullinger (the Consensus Tigurinus) aspired to bring eucharistic teaching in the churches of Zurich and Geneva into harmony. However, while on a diplomatic mission in 1557 to secure the intercession of political leaders in favour of the Waldensian communities under threat from the king of France, Theodore Beza wrote a eucharistic confession which differed radically from the 1549 text; his hope was t…
Saints, Martyrs, and the Reformation: Reflections on Robert Bartlett's Why Can the Dead Do Such Great Things
Robert Bartlett's book on the cult of saints in the Middle Ages clearly constitutes a major achievement. Its scope is vast; its approach ranges from the chronological to the thematic; it embraces many cultural, as well as theological and religious, aspects of the subject. Finally, it is informed by a rich comparative vision that includes wide-ranging discussion of other religions

Living with Unintended Consequences
Living with Unintended Consequences Euan Cameron (bio) It is an honor to be invited to respond to Brad Gregory's extraordinary and fascinating new book. The work is phenomenally learned, intricately and ingeniously argued, deliberately provocative, and sometimes exasperating. Let me begin by expressing wholehearted approval and support for a great deal of what Brad Gregory is seeking to achieve in this work. He takes theological ideas and their i…
Primitivism, Patristics, and Polemic in Protestant Visions of Early Christianity
In Continental Protestantism, the history of the Church acquired vital explanatory importance for the theological justification of the movement. Protestant thought argued that for 1,000 years before the Reformation the Catholic Church had erred more and more seriously from correct belief and practice. However, the first experiments in writing ecclesiastical history were heavily influenced by northern Renaissance humanism. A tension developed betw…

‘Civilized Religion’ from Renaissance to Reformation and Counter-Reformation
This chapter discusses the historical role of religion in developing civilized behaviour. Many writers who advocated civilized behaviour in the early modern period wrote in an overtly religious spirit. Erasmus treated refinement of manners as one of the minor branches of his broader project to create a rational Christian ethic. In his Galateo, Giovanni della Casa used a bishop to correct the manners of a duke through his servant. These writers be…
The Deafening Silence of Aids
It is a great honor to be asked to deliver the first Jonathan Mann Memorial Lecture. It is fitting that this remembrance should have been created to honor Mann's memory and legacy. He more than any other individual must be credited with first conceiving and constructing a global response to the AIDS epidemic. This he did not only as founding director of the World Health Organization's Global Programme on AIDS between 1986 and 1990, but also after…

For Reasoned Faith or Embattled Creed? Religion for the People in Early Modern Europe
There has long been some measure of agreement that European people in the middle ages adhered to a form of Christianity which was ‘folklorised’, ‘enchanted’, or ‘magical’. Interwoven with the traditional creeds and the orthodox liturgy were numerous beliefs and practices which were intended to ensure spiritual and bodily welfare, and guard against misfortune. To the endless frustration of theologians, ‘religion’ and ‘superstition’ stubbornly refu…

Medieval Heretics as Protestant Martyrs
Two themes which figure repeatedly in the history of the Western Church are the contrasting ones of tradition and renewal. To emphasize tradition, or continuity, is to stress the divine element in the continuous collective teaching and witness of the Church. To call periodically for renewal and reform is to acknowledge that any institution composed of people will, with time, lose its pristine vigour or deviate from its original purpose. At certai…

The ‘Godly Community’ in the Theory and Practice of the European Reformation
It is now a truism to say that the European Reformation of the sixteenth century brought into being a religion of the word. It arose in literate and learned debate; it was fomented by the printing of written propaganda; it defined itself according to written formulae, including creeds, confessions, and catechisms. It is perhaps almost as generally accepted, and certainly as true, that the ‘Word’ as envisaged by the Reformers was a doctrine based …

The Early Reformation in Europe
In the generation that followed Martin Luther's protest the evangelical movement in Europe attracted very different levels of support in different parts of the continent. Whereas in eastern and central Europe the new movement brought a swift transformation of the religious and political landscape, progress elsewhere was more halting: in the Mediterranean lands and western Europe initial enthusiasm for reform failed to bring about the wholesale re…

Tolerance and Intolerance in the European Reformation
This volume offers a re-interpretation of the role of tolerance and intolerance in the European Reformation. It questions the traditional notion of a progressive development towards greater religious toleration from the beginning of the sixteenth century onwards. Instead, it places incidents of religious tolerance and intolerance in their specific social and political contexts. Fifteen leading scholars offer a comprehensive interpretation of this…
