Voices from the Reformation Trevor O'Reggio

I have bought together eight published and unpublished articles on the Protestant Reformation in this small book. These articles deal with a range of theological issues. Chapter one explores the life and teachings of Jan Hus, one of the most significant pre-reformer whose life and theology set the stage for the Protestant Reformation of the Sixteenth century. Chapter two describes the core theological issue-of Anabaptism-Discipleship. Chapter three compares the teachings of Anabaptism with those of the Seventh-day Adventists. Chapter 4 analyzes the Radicals' reformers' views on the Holy Spirit. Chapters five, six, and seven focuses on Martin Luther, considered the towering figure of the Reformation. In chapter five, I reexamine Luther's views on death and dying. Chapter six explores his revolutionary views on marriage, sex, and the family. Chapter seven analyzes his enigmatic and paradoxical theology. Chapter eight concludes the book by surveying a representative view of the major Protestant reformers of the sixteenth century on what happens to the wicked at the final judgment and the nature of hell. Trevor O'Reggio is professor of Church History and currently chair of that department at the Seventh-day Adventist Theological Seminary at Andrews University.

He earned a PhD in History from the University of Chicago in 1997 and in 2006 a DMin in Marriage and Family from Gordon-Conwell Seminary in Boston. He has authored several books and articles. He teaches primarily Reformation history, American religious history and courses in marriage and family. He enjoys cycling, walking and swimming.
