3.4. Reformations across Europe: The Bigger Picture

As we noted earlier, a number of reforming movements sprang up within western Europe in the early sixteenth century. Although these are sometimes grouped together as “the Reformation,” this implies a far greater degree of shared values and collaboration than was actually the case. Often, reforming movements were concerned with purely local affairs. Some aligned themselves with reforming movements elsewhere; others found themselves drawn into broader conflicts and disputes, thus becoming part of a wider movement. In what follows, we shall try to identify some components of the western European reforming movements of this period which lay beyond those initiated and directed by Luther, Zwingli, and Calvin.
