1. 1. Getting The Reformation Wrong

   Correcting Some Misunderstandings

   

   This book challenges popular, simplistic accounts of the sixteenth-century Reformation and the medieval church, arguing that common myths—such as a uniformly corrupt pre-Reformation church, the supposed lack of access to Scripture, and the idea that Reformers alone recovered true Christianity—distort the historical reality. Drawing on archival and theological evidence, the author emphasizes continuities between late medieval and early modern Christian belief and practice, highlights the complex political and social forces at work, and calls for a more nuanced, context-sensitive reading of doctrinal changes. The result is a corrective that reframes the Reformation as a multifaceted movement with ongoing ecclesial and ecumenical implications rather than a simple rupture between truth and error.
