Purpose

This guide is intended to provide a starting point for researching topics in the history of religious and theological changes in 16-17th century Europe, a period that saw the fracturing of a unified Christendom, and the political, social, cultural, and economic impacts of these changes.

 

This guide is not comprehensive; it does not list all of the resources on this topic or in related disciplines owned by the Library or available on the Internet. This guide serves merely as a starting point for research.
