Recenzje

'This book fills in gaps in our understanding of developments parallel to those in the West and thus enables us better to assess and analyze the Reformation in every land in Europe. All college, university, and seminary libraries should have this volume.' Religious Studies Review, Vol. 24, No. 3 'this collection makes a fine volume. It should help to bring these crucially important peripheries into more central focus in discussions of the Age of Reform.' Slavic Review, Vol. 57, No. 3 'as an encouragement for further exploration and as a reminder of the importance of the region, this volume makes a valuable contribution to eastern European Reformation studies.'
