English summary: The authors of this volume address similarities and differences between the reformation in England and in the Holy Roman Empire with regard to Christian ethics. For even if ethics were clearly considered an integral part of Christian life by all parties, their theological contextualization remained controversial, both amongst the Reformation and its opponents, as well as within the different streams of the Reformation itself. The contributors to this volume discuss answers to the question of the function of theological ethics provided principally by representatives of the Reformation in England and the Holy Roman Empire, while at the same time addressing decisions and behavioral dictums within various practical spheres, such as the ethics of law, the economy, war or diplomacy.

German description: Die Autoren dieses Bandes behandeln Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede zwischen der Reformation in England und im Heiligen Romischen Reich deutscher Nation hinsichtlich der christlichen Ethik. Denn so selbstverstandlich die Ethik fur alle Seiten zum christlichen Leben gehorte, so umstritten war doch ihr theologischer Ort, und das sowohl zwischen der Reformation und ihren Gegnern als auch unter den verschiedenen Stromungen der Reformation. Die Beitrage des vorliegenden Bandes behandeln einerseits Antworten, die von Vertretern der Reformation in England und im Heiligen Romischen Reiche prinzipiell auf die Frage nach dem theologischen Ort der Ethik gegeben wurden, und sie widmen sich andererseits Entscheidungen und Verhaltensmaximen auf konkreten Handlungsfeldern hier und dort, so der Ethik des Rechts, der Wirtschaft, des Krieges oder der Diplomatie.
