Reformation Movements in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries
Charlotte Methuen
SBL Press, 2025
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. Contributors include Federica Ambrosini, Sarah Apetrei, Otfried Czaika, Genelle Gertz, Sr. Nicole Grochowina, Andrea Hofmann, Nathan Hood, András Korányi, Raffaella Malvina La Rosa, Pierre-Olivier Léchot, Elsie Anne McKee, Peter Matheson, Charlotte Methuen, Eivor Andersen Oftestad, Stefania Salvadori, Douglas H. Shantz, Rachel K. Teubner, Gyöngyi Varga, Lothar Vogel, and Katharina Will.

The Mystic Fable, Volume Two
The Sixteenth And Seventeenth CenturiesMichel de Certeau
University of Chicago Press, 2015
More than two decades have passed since Chicago published the first volume of this groundbreaking work in the Religion and Postmodernism series. It quickly became influential across a wide range of disciplines and helped to make the tools of poststructuralist thought available to religious studies and theology, especially in the areas of late medieval and early modern mysticism.
Though the second volume remained in fragments at the time of his death, Michel de Certeau had the foresight to leave his literary executor detailed instructions for its completion, which formed the basis for the present work. Together, both volumes solidify Certeau’s place as a touchstone of twentieth-century literature and philosophy, and continue his exploration of the paradoxes of historiography; the construction of social reality through practice, testimony, and belief; the theorization of speech in angelology and glossolalia; and the interplay of prose and poetry in discourses of the ineffable. This book will be of vital interest to scholars in religious studies, theology, philosophy, history, and literature.
