Grace and Salvation in the Reformers: An Introduction to the Character of the Reforming Tradition

An introduction to the major theological interests of Reform movements in the pre-modern and modern church, covering the figures of Francis, Wycliffe, Tyndale, Latimer, Luther, Calvin, Trent, Radical Reformers, Hooker and the American Puritans.  This is a course that focuses on theology, not church history, but will seek to identify formative strands of thinking about the Gospel and the work of Christ among these Christian thinkers as they sought to re-shape the witness of the Church in their time.  The nature of ecclesial “re-formation” will be a sub-theme of the course.
