This comprehensive electronic collection gives researchers immediate, Web-based access to more than 1,200 works from the Reformation and post-Reformation eras. These works include the theological writings of more than 300 Protestant authors, as well as a wide range of confessional documents, biblical commentaries, polemical treatises, and Bible translations. From the followers of Luther and Calvin to the leading figures of the Anabaptist movement, the writers represented in the Digital Library of Classic Protestant Texts can now be studied and compared in ways that will open new avenues of research for the next generation of scholars.
When complete, this collection will give scholars access to over 1500 works, all primary source material from the 16th and 17th centuries. Into one extensive, fully searchable collection we have gathered all the key catechisms, scholarly treatises, papal documents, devotional works, and theological volumes that sparked and sustained the reform from within the Catholic Church in the heady years before, during, and after the landmark decrees of the Council of Trent. The collection currently includes 371 titles.
