Summary:

Historians, church historians, and scholars of religion explore some of the ways the scholarship and use, physical form and presentation, and languages and interpretations of the Bible were altered to reflect other changes in early modern Europe. Among their topics are illustrations in early printed Latin Bibles in the Low Countries (1477-1553), hermeneutics and exegesis in the early eucharistic controversy, Theodor Bibliander's Oration on Isaiah (1532) and Commentary on Nahum (1534), global Calvinism in the maps in the English Geneva Bible, and Augustine and the golden age of biblical scholarship in Louvain (1550-1650).
