Summary:
The studies in this book set out a bold thesis: that there is a distinct movement of thought within the period of the Protestant Reformation in Europe that may be called "Covenant Ecclesiology." The proposal was made during 2017, a year that was named as "Reformation 500," marking half a millennium since Martin Luther issued his 95 theses. The year hosted many reflections on the Reformation from three of its "children"--Lutheran, Reformed, and Anglican. This collection of studies, originallyy papers given at a conference at Regent's Park College, University of Oxford, identifies a fourth child of the Reformation, whom other siblings have sometimes regarded as a "wild child."
