"The Reformation Theologians is a very timely return to the
individuals and the ideas at the heart of the evangelical movement.
It is a valuable collection, written by the leading scholars in the
field, and it will prove a very useful addition to Reformation
Studies - both as a resource and as a compendium for the
classroom." C. Scott Dixon, The Queen's University of Belfast
"This interesting volume of biographical sketches brings together a
heterogeneous group of theological bed-fellows, important and
not-so-important. It demonstrates superbly the powerful richness of
the theological discourse in the sixteenth century. The anthology
is a splendid introduction to the theological turbulence of that
age." Hans Hillerbrand, Duke University
"This book, as well as the rest of the volumes in this series [The
Great Theologians] rely on careful scholarship in producing a book
which stands apart." ATLA Reference Review
"The 25 biographical sketches with excellent notes, by an
international group of authors, are all well written and cover the
theological spectrum." Choice
