Purchase options and add-ons

Although deeply political, economic, and social, the European Reformations of the sixteenth century were at heart religious disputes over core Christian theological issues. Denis Janz's A Reformation Reader is unabashed in its generous selection of key theological and related texts from five distinct Reformation sites. Along with plenty on the late-medieval background, the Lutheran, Calvinist, Radical, English, and Catholic Reformations are all well-represented here.

Janz's selection of more than 100 carefully edited primary documents captures the energy and moment of that tumultuous time. The new edition incorporates a dozen readings by and about women in the Reformation, adds a new chapter on Thomas Mntzer and the Peasants' War, and adds illuminating graphics.

How did I get a Kindle edition?
1 Star
How did I get a Kindle edition?
I'm not sure how but I obtained a Kindle version of this book (through Amazon so I know it was a legitimate purchase, I can also provide the receipt). I do not see the Kindle version available which is good because it is total trash. As you can see by the example I provided above, the scan is not good and it makes it very difficult to read. The word "at" is often rendered as "hit" for example. It is difficult enough to read these documents in archaic language without scanning errors.

The selected readings paint a wholistic view of the reformation era. The book introduces its readers to many of the men and who supported and objected to the theological movement.

A great reference text for anyone studying Reformation history. Used it for my own research and as the textbook in a college course I taught. Good introductions to each movement, author, and individual text.

I'm a fussy professor who prefers to have students read primary material rather than someone's notions about texts. These texts are superb for a Reformation course, seminary or undergrad. A little humor, as in "The Abbot and the Lady" doesn't hurt, either.
I'm so glad that I found Janz's volume on Amazon.

4.0 out of 5 stars Required and helpful
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2010

This is a required text for my seminary class. I find it a helpful collection of writings that saves time in the library from hunting all of the individual primary sources. The translations seem readable and the selections allow a better knowledge of the subject than text books about the subject. Choices are always made in any edited work, but the choices seem to have been well made to promote understanding of the changes to the the church in the 15th and 16th centuries.

3.0 out of 5 stars thorough, but long
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2013

I think the text improves as you get further into it, but it is a lot of similar detail in the beginning, especially. I think a larger print would make it an easier read. I did learn a lot about the similarities and the diversity within the various Reformation movements.
