Description: Jerome once said that when he read the letters of the apostle Paul, he could hear thunder. That same thunder reverberates through the writings of the reformers as well.

Reformation historians have embraced a variety of approaches to their subject. Some have concentrated on problems of periodization, others on political, social, or economic concerns, and still others on ecumenical questions. Timothy George acknowledges the contributions of these approaches but argues forcefully that the Reformation was first and foremost a religious event, that its deepest concerns were theological.

George focuses primarily upon the theological self-understanding of the four major reformers: Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, and Simons. He attempts to understand the mind-set of each reformer and of the age in which the Reformation occurred, thus avoiding the tendency to critique the thought and motives of the reformers by the measure of modern questions and concerns. George demonstrates that the reformers were successful precisely because they tapped the profound reservoir of spiritual yearning prevalent in their time. In each case, George is concerned to point to the relevance of the theology of the reformers for our own time.

Based on extensive research in primary sources and characterized by careful balanced conclusions and highly readable prose, Timothy George's Theology of the Reformers is an invaluable resource for scholars, students, and ministers who wish to engage the thought of the reformers and so better prepare themselves to deal with the world of our time.
