The unit begins by considering the background issues and examines the way in which the Reformation had links with Renaissance humanism. Students give particular attention to the major streams of the European Protestant Reformation. They also study the Catholic Reformation and the Radical Reformers. The unit moves on to evaluate developments in England in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Students examine the emergence of Puritanism (in England and Scotland), Separatism and the Free Church tradition. Study of the relationship between spirituality, mission and society in the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries in Europe lays the foundation for an understanding of more recent church history.
