Reformation Movements in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries

Reformation Movements in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries explores how Protestant women across Europe engaged with the Bible, rather than prioritizing how male Reformers viewed women. Contributors consider women as readers, interpreters, and sharers of scripture who encountered biblical texts in their own languages, in devotional texts, and in hymns. Although many available sources derive from and address elite women, the articles collected here show that women from across the social spectrum and in locations from Scotland to Sweden to Bohemia engaged with scripture and with their faith.

Shantz, Rachel K. Teubner, Gyöngyi Varga, Lothar Vogel, and Katharina Will.
