Oberman, Prof. dr. H.A.-Forerunners of the Reformation

Forerunners of the Reformation, the shape of late medieval thought, by H.A. Oberman, a Dutch historian and theologian who specialized in the study of the Reformation.
Oberman's groundbreaking Reader transfers discussion of late medieval Christian thought from the private studies of the specialists to more general use and understanding, and explains the significance of the ideas of the time. Although this 'late medieval reader' does not exhaust the riches of the period between the High Middle Ages and the Reformation era, it introduces the reader to aspects of such major themes as conciliarism, curialism, mysticism, scholasticism, the spiritualityu of the Devotio Moderna, and the impact of Renaissance humanism.
