More than Luther: () von Karla Apperloo-Boersma

What were the effects of Luther’s theology? Interconfessional and interdisciplinary approaches to an open discussion

This volume contains the plenary papers and a selection of shortpapers from the Seventh Annual RefoRC conference, which was held May 1012th 2017 in Wittenberg. The contributions concentrate on the effects of Luthers new theology and draw the lines from Luthers contemporaries into the early seventeenth century. Developments in art, catholic responses and Calvinistic reception are only some of the topics. The volume reflects the interdisciplinarity and interconfessionality that characterizes present research on the 16th century reformations and underlines the fact that this research has not come to a conclusion in 2017. The papers in this conference volume point to lacunae and will certainly stimulate further research.Contributors: Wim François, Antonio Gerace, Siegrid Westphal, Edit Szegedi, Maria Lucia Weigel, Graeme Chatfield, Jane Schatkin Hettrick, Marta Quatrale, Aurelio A.
