Theology of the Reformation

Investigates the theology of three foundational foci of evangelical understanding: Luther, Calvin and the English Reformers (Ridley and Tyndale.) In addition, Gabriel Biel will be probed as the immediate, late- Mediaeval foil for the Sixteenth Century Reformers, as well as Erasmus, who represents the Humanist alternative to evangelical conviction. Prerequisites: THEO 531 and THEO 532.
