The Contentious Triangle: Church, State, and University : A Festschrift in Honor of Professor George Huntston Williams

by George Huntston Williams (Editor)

This remarkable volume honours one of the twentieth century's foremost church historians as the century draws to a close. It was Williams who coined the term "Radical Reformation" to describe the movement that helped shape the contours of the world that was to come after the reformers, far more than they or their Catholic and Protestant opponents ever realised. The sixteenth century saw not only Western Christianity split into denominations and sects, but also the rise of the "contentious triangle" of church, state, and university.
