Dieser Band untersucht den inhärenten Pluralismus der Reformation und ihre mannigfaltigen Kulturwirkungen aus ökumenischem und interdisziplinärem Blickwinkel. Die Aufsätze beleuchten u.a. folgende Schlüsselfragen: Wie können wir heute die Reformation als ein historisches und theologisches Ereignis interpretieren und bewerten, wie als historiographische Kategorie und kulturellen Mythos? Und was sind die langfristigen globalen Konsequenzen der Reformationsepoche, wie sie sich in Gestalt miteinander konkurrierender konfessioneller Kulturen und letztlich unterschiedlicher globaler Christentümer manifestierten, im Kontext derer unterschiedliche Formen der Moderne entstanden?InhaltsübersichtJan Stievermann/Randall Zachman: Preface The Many Faces of the Reformation Euan Cameron: Reconsidering Early-Reformation and Catholic-Reform Impulses – Randall C.

The essays shed new light on several key questions: How do we interpret and assess the Reformation as a historical and theological event, as a historiographic category, and as a cultural myth? What are the long-term global consequences of the Reformation period as manifest in the rise of competing confessional cultures and distinct Christian world religions, producing different types of modernities? How did these confessional cultures interact with the development of empires and nation-states, with the emergence of the sciences, as well as with divergent legal cultures and traditions in education and social welfare? What kind of modalities emerged in these confessional cultures for engaging with the humanistic study of the Bible and, later on, Higher Criticism?Survey of contentsJan Stievermann/Randall Zachman: Preface The Many Faces of the Reformation Euan Cameron: Reconsidering Early-Reformation and Catholic-Reform Impulses – Randall C.
