- What's the difference between the medieval concept of reformatio and Luther's reform?
- What is Luther's role in the Reformation?
- What are the implications of the term "Counter-Reformation"?
- magisterial, radical
- intellectual, social history
- Pietism, Enlightenment interpretations of Luther
- psychobiography
