Sommario/riassunto

In this wide-ranging volume, Heiko A. Oberman traces threads of continuity flowing to and from the Reformation. The often denied and generally misunderstood ""continuities"" between theological directions of the later Middle Ages, the theological reformation of the early sixteenth century, and subsequent developments are constantly



illuminated through exacting detail and compelling insights.
