Conversion is variously construed as a sudden reorientation of perspective, or, alternatively, as a gradual, ongoing process of readjustment of behavior. Change of religious orientation can be cognitive or habitual, passive or active, and can depend upon a range of moral ontological assumptions. A traditional antiphon in the Octave of Christmas invokes the language of exchange – “O admirabile commertium” – which is echoed by Jean Calvin in his reference to the Sacrament of the Eucharist as “mirifica commutatio”, “wondrous exchange.” This language harks back to the scriptural concept of covenant. This essay will explore the reformers’ employment of mercantile metaphors in their discourse of conversion. In addition to Calvin attention will be paid to Erasmus, Martin Luther, the Florentine reformer Peter Martyr Vermigli, the French Zwinglian Antoine de Marcourt, and to the Elizabethan divine Richard Hooker.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"165 1","pages":"80 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60155432","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a dramatist who repeatedly included regicide in his plays, Shakespeare was aware of the contemporary political and religious relevance of king-killing. Avoiding the familiar forms of overt Protestant propagandizing, he staged a confrontation between English monarchical and papal power in King John, but in other plays he explored regicide and tyrannicide against the background of resistance theories that implied the need for a monarch to maintain a sufficient degree of popular support to claim legitimacy. At a time of nation-state formation, Shakespeare celebrated English nationalism, but turned a critical eye on the behavior of particular rulers, leaving his audiences free to interpret his plays’ religiopolitical complexities.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"28 1","pages":"17 - 33"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41784760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

King (1945-2020), former editor of Reformation (2006-2009). It opens with two pieces, by Arthur Marotti and Mark Bayer, on Shakespeare’s response to the ethical and political ideas of the Reformation. Although King did not consider himself to be a Shakespearean, he cultivated an interest across his career in the effect of the Reformation on Shakespeare’s plays. According to King, “[t]hat Shakespeare joined his contemporaries in restaging many theatrical encounters between kings and satirical embodiments of papal power demonstrates that memories of the conflict between ecclesiastical and secular authority long outlived the generations who came of age during the many religious crises that occurred between the 1534 Reformation Parliament and the Elizabethan settlement of religion in 1559.” In crafting his history plays, King argues, Shakespeare was sensitive to “the regal vices of pride, extravagance, and licentiousness” which could be mitigated via royal counsel, a “problem” “raised by works ranging from Utopia to 1 Henry IV.” Because “[t]he Italianate settings of Jacobean plays inherit a polemical Protestant edge,” “Shakespeare and his successors recreate the Reformation image of Italy in such plays as Othello, Volpone, and The Duchess of Malfi.” With characteristic erudition, King locates an analogous use of Othello’s abusive epithet “goats and monkeys,” which Othello hurls at Desdemona, in the mid-Tudor satirist William Baldwin’s translation of Matthias Flaccius’s Wonderfull newes of the death of Paule the. iii. last byshop of Rome (c. 1552). King’s point is not that Shakespeare necessarily read Flaccius, but that his dramas were unmistakably a product of Reformation literary culture. Mandated official homilies read weekly from most pulpits during Elizabeth’s reign “enables one to read these texts as a summary of the world view of Sidney and Spenser, Shakespeare and Donne,” according to King. This assertion leads him to identify “commonplaces from the homily on obedience” in Ulysses’ speech on order and degree, from Troilus and Cressida.” Reformation literary voices “helped to spawn masterworks by William Shakespeare.” “[P]lays such as Hamlet and Othello dramatize controversial issues related to conscience, confession, free will, and purgatory....Dramatization of","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"28 1","pages":"1 - 5"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48047127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

King was an innovative, courageous, and pioneering scholar of tremendous stature. He was also a firm believer in this journal, and served as its Editor from vols. 11–14 (2006–09). He published in Reformation more frequently than nearly any other academic journal, with articles or notes in vols. 6, 7, 10, and 25, and reviews in vols. 7, 16, and 22. His work in the literature and culture of the English Reformation and in Tudor non-dramatic literature, book history, and iconography charted the influence of the Reformation upon early modern English authors, even as he found himself sometimes at odds with an academic establishment which he felt remained unproductively bound to aesthetic criteria which posited a “Renaissance” in literary creativity only associated with the Elizabethan era (1558–1603) and the careers of William Shakespeare, Sir Philip Sidney, and Edmund Spenser. While not neglecting these authors, his work situated their writing on a wider canvas, one much more closely aligned to their actual intellectual, religious, and political contexts. Above all, he dedicated his career to explaining how the Reformation produced the soil from which sprung not only major canonical figures, but also a host of other writers whose work is essential for any understanding the period’s literature. He made major contributions in the study of figures who are now central to the field, including Anne Askew, William Baldwin, John Foxe, Thomas More, William Tyndale, and more. His work opened up the study of Tudor literature to an entire generation of younger scholars, some of whom are themselves now leaders in the field. John began his teaching career at Abdullahi Bayero University in Kano, Nigeria, where he resided from 1967 to 1969 as Lecturer in English. In 1971 he joined the English faculty at Bates College in Lewiston, Maine. He held a Visiting Lectureship in English at Oxford University from 1978 to 1979, and from 1981 to 1982 he was Visiting Associate Professor of English at Brown University. In 1989 he was appointed Professor of English at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio. In 2003 he was designated Humanities Distinguished Professor of English & of Religious Studies, and in 2004 Distinguished University Professor at OSU. Following his retirement in 2010 he divided his time between Washington, DC, where he was a frequent denizen of both the Folger Shakespeare Library and the Library of Congress, and his home in Virginia. He received an honorary Litt.D. degree from Randolph-Macon College in Ashland, Virginia, in 2018. An alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science in New York, he received the B.A. cum laude from Randolph Macon in 1965 and the M.A. cum laude from the University of Chicago the following year. He completed his dissertation at Chicago in 1973, under the direction of William A. Ringler, Jr., on “Protector Somerset and his Propagandists.” Over the course of a career which spanned more than five decades, he produced a","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"28 1","pages":"6 - 9"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48372388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While robust networks of charity were probably more vital than ever to the social welfare of London and its citizens, the Reformation had disrupted previous forms of benevolence, giving way for new opportunities and new religious justifications for these practices. Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night (c. 1601) reflects and underscores both the economic and religious prerogatives of charity for its audiences. Staged as part of the year’s Christmastide revels, the play takes part in seasonal religious practices and gift-giving and emphasizes the need for individuals to live in comity with one another. Its message auspiciously coincided with its namesake. The feast of Epiphany, or Twelfth Day, commemorates the revelation of Christ to the gentiles , and sermons throughout this season typically exposited the value of charity.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"28 1","pages":"34 - 49"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48678880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This consensus is based chiefly on two of Bilney’s statements on justification in a 1527 letter to Cuthbert Tunstall, then Bishop of London. By putting these statements in the broader context of Bilney’s extant writings, this essay aims to show that while Bilney used some of the same language and concepts as Luther, the way he developed and understood those concepts was fundamentally distinct. In his views of the law, the reception of grace, and of the nature of justification, Bilney’s soteriology differed markedly from that of the German reformer. In his distinctive development of evangelical soteriology, Bilney illustrates the experimental nature of early evangelicalism and the dangers of seeking prematurely to pigeonhole its proponents with anachronistic confessional labels.","PeriodicalId":41682,"journal":{"name":"Reformation","volume":"28 1","pages":"63 - 79"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46222268","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
