Reviews in Religion & Theology

A great deal has been written about the influence of humanism on the Reformation. The present study reverses the question, asking: how did the Reformation affect humanism? Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate. Both Reformers and Catholic reactionaries took from humanism what was useful for the advancement of their cause and suppressed what was unsuited to their purpose.

"This volume will set the agenda for critical scholarly discussion of the relationship of confessionalization and humanism."--Religious Studies Review "Her explanation of the forces at work in the 'confessionalization' of humanism is acute,"--American Historical Review "It is Rummel's achievement that her readers come to see clearly how utterly serious were the issues underlying the often recondite and always wordy contentions of all participants...What emerges most strongly from this book is the realization that "confessionalization" was lived as a process of individual experiences undergone by real people who were struggling in a noble cause, which was the common humanistic heritage of liberal studies."--American Historical Review "This volume will set the agenda for critical scholarly discussion of the relationship of confessionalization and humanism."--Religious Studies Review
