  • Bainton, Roland. Women of the Reformation. 3 vols. Minneapolis: Fortress, 1971–1977.

    Pioneering multivolume work that offers generally glowing biographical sketches of important women reformers, writers, rulers, and more, showcasing their Reformation-era activities. Suggests that the Reformation brought religious equality for women (an idea now mostly rejected by scholars). Volume 1 surveys women in Germany and Italy, Volume 2 those in France and England, and Volume 3 women elsewhere across Europe. Now somewhat dated, but still of interest as an introduction.

  • Becker-Cantarino, Barbara. Der lange Weg zur Mündigkeit: Frau und Literatur, 1500–1800. Stuttgart: Metzler, 1987.

    Introduction to early modern women’s literary production that focuses on where and how women lived. Chapters consider such topics as the theological understandings of women and marriage, the legal status of wives, women and the church, education, and the theater. The emphasis is on elite or exemplary women, and strong criticisms are made of the role of Protestant ideology in enclosing women within a private domestic sphere.

  • Capern, Amanda L. The Routledge History of Women in Early Modern Europe. New York: Routledge, 2020.

    Expansive survey of women’s lives in Europe from 1450 to 1750. Includes discussions of such varied topics as education and intellectual lives of women; work and material life; the arts and sciences; spirituality and emotion; bodies and sexuality; women’s social lives, legal status, and political activities; and women’s health and well-being. A few chapters deal specifically with Reformation themes such as Catholic piety and Protestant spirituality.

    • The Institute for Luther Studies serves the seminary, the church, and the academy by promoting the in-depth study of Luther and the Lutheran tradition from diverse modern, ecumenical, and global perspectives. It advances scholarship and connects scholarship to ministry, responding to critical issues facing the church and the world today.  

    The Institute for Luther Studies sponsors the annual Luther Colloquy, which has brought together distinguished scholars and church leaders annually since 1970.  Recent Colloquies have addressed “Lutheran Spirituality,” “Lutheranism and Race,” “Theological Education in the Lutheran Tradition,” “Theology and Exegesis in African Contexts,” and “Luther and the Catholic Church.”  

    The most recent colloquy papers have been published in the journal Dialog, ensuring broad distribution among scholars and church leaders.  

    The Institute also awards an annual Luther Studies award to a graduating student who has demonstrated exemplary interest in the study of Luther, Lutheran history, and Lutheran theology as well as the ability to use these historical-theological resources for effective ministry today.
