Description
The Reformation of Worship from Erasmus to Calvin In the 16th century, a sudden shift in medieval piety led to the rejection of 'idolatry' as false religion. This movement had far-reaching consequences for Protestantism, as churches were attacked and Catholic practices abolished. A study of this period reveals that the argument against idolatry was central to Reformed Protestantism, shaping both its theology and politics. Professor Carlos M. N. Eire explores the development of Protestant iconoclastic theology and practice from Erasmus to Calvin, providing a comprehensive survey of the movement's unfolding. This book provides valuable insights into the Reformed ideology that stood in conflict with Catholicism and Lutheranism. By examining the role of idolatry in shaping Reformed Protestantism, this study offers a nuanced understanding of one of the most significant periods in Christian history.
