The Myth of the Reformation Hardback

On June 810, 2011, the first conference of RefoRC, the Reformation Research Consortium (www.reforc.com), was held at the Institute for Swiss Reformation History at the Theological Faculty of the University of Zurich. The overall title The Myth of the Reformation, encouraged critical perspectives on traditional beliefs about the sixteenth century Reformation(s). Peter Opitz provides a selection of the papers that were presented at the Zurich conference. He assembles many diverse perspectives, which refute at least one myth: that the Reformation era is a boring period where not much is left to discover behind the traditional myths.
