A holistic, eye-opening history of one of the most significant turning points in Christianity, The Reformation as Renewal demonstrates that the Reformation was at its core a renewal of evangelical catholicity. By listening to the Reformers' own voices, Matthew Barrett helps readers explore the Reformation's roots in patristic and medieval thought and its response to late-medieval innovations, all while avoiding common caricatures that charge the Reformation with schism or assume the Reformation was the gateway to secularism. This balanced, insightful, and accessible treatment of the Reformation will help readers see this watershed moment in the history of Christianity with fresh eyes and appreciate the unity Protestants have with the one, holy, catholic, and apostolic church across history.
