The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology)

The Confessionalization of Humanism in Reformation Germany (Oxford Studies in Historical Theology) by Rummel, Erika. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780195137125.

This book deals with the impact of the Reformation debate in Germany on the most prominent intellectual movement of the time: humanism. Although it is true that humanism influenced the course of the Reformation, says Erika Rummel, the dynamics of the relationship are better described by saying that humanism was co-opted, perhaps even exploited, in the religious debate.
