Hazlett, W. I. P. (Ed.) (2021) A Companion to the Reformation in Scotland, c.1525–1638: Frameworks of Change and Development. Series: Brill's companions to the Christian tradition, 100. Brill: Leiden ; Boston. ISBN 9789004329720

Abstract

This handbook presents almost thirty expert written chapters on the Scottish Reformation from the late 1520s to 1638. The book is organized in ten major themes: external and internal pressures for change; breakthrough and revolution; theological and philosophical formulations; varieties of dissemination; humanism and higher education; legal systems and moral order; appropriations in literary and popular cultures; outsiders; evolution of new national identity; and historiographical traditions and prospective developments. While there are introductory elements, the chapters both recall previous studies and offer new research. Concerns of the book are to recall Reformation core religious dimensions and to highlight the Scottish contribution to the rich tapestry of the Reformation in Europe.
