Christian Initiation: The Reformation Period - 2 Pieces Per Package
Description
This reissue of J.D.C. Fisher's classic work follows two volumes of his work: Christian Initiation: Confirmation Then and Now, and Christian Initiation: Baptism in the Medieval West. Once again, Fisher introduces the reader to primary sources and translations that are only found in this volume, Christian Initiation: The Reformation Period. The book contains an English version of the early reformed rites of Baptism and Confirmation used during the Reformation period, together with other documents revealing the circumstances in which these rites were compiled and used. Covering the period 1520-52, Fisher offers readers texts for the Lutheran, Reformed, and Anglican traditions and unearths some documents expressing viewpoints of the conservatives of the time who were content with the old Latin services and resisted the innovations of the Reformers. Fisher provides a textual study of these rites that contributes to our understanding of sacramental and liturgical history.
