Fiction

“A penetrating portrait of a technical whiz, a narcissist lacking an inner self who is tantalized by the array of philosophical and theological ideas to which he is exposed in chance encounters. This volume, reaching beyond itself, raises profound questions about the modern world, and proposes the need for salvation.”

Women Reformers of Early Modern Europe

History & Biography

“Several decades after the Great Realignment began--the project of integrating women's voices into our history--we now see the harvest for the era of the Reformation: a full and complex portrait of women's participation in the Protestant movement in all its principal European centers. With his characteristic wisdom and energy, Roland Bainton launched the endeavor with three volumes on Women of the Reformation (1971, 1975, 1977). Now Kirsi Stjerna, assembling an impressive international cast of thirty-four experts, has completed that enterprise. The contributors to Women Reformers of Early Modern Europe, in brief but meaty biographical and thematic studies with accompanying textual excerpts, splendidly bring to life women readers of the Bible, challengers (and some defenders) of orthodoxy, wives and mothers, and leaders and rulers, in one indispensable volume.”
