Most English-speakers know very little about the dramatic events surrounding the Spanish reformation of the 16th century due to the Inquisition's incredible success of suppressing Protestantism, especially in Spain. Now, for the first time, English-speakers can read the only confession of faith that was written by Spaniards during the 16th century based on the original Spanish and Latin texts. Casiodoro de Reina (of the Spanish Reina-Valera Bible translation) was the principal author of the confession. He was influenced by all of the major strands of Reformation thought (Lutheran, Reformed, Anglican, and Anabaptist), and this shows up in this work. Reina appears to have been more of a pacifist in his theological outlook, attempting to be truly "catholic" in outlook.

La Confessión de la Fe Christiana (1560/61), written and presented by Casiodoro de Reina (1520-1594), and edited by Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602) is hereby published for the first time in a side-by-side bilingual format, consisting of a modernized Spanish rendering of the text and a modern English translation, as The Spanish Confession of the Christian Faith. This confession, being one which has been forgotten and neglected by most scholarship until only recently, is one that restores to the land of Spain, known for its ruthless anti-protestant persecution in the sixteenth-century, a crown jewel in its often-dismissed protestant heritage. La Confessión de la Fe Christiana (1560/61), escrita y presentada por Casiodoro de Reina (1520-1594), y editada por Cipriano de Valera (1531-1602), se publica por primera vez en un formato bilingüe de lado a lado, que consta de una versión modernizada del texto en español y una traducción moderna al inglés, bajo el título de La Confesión Española de la Fe Cristiana. Esta confesión, siendo una que ha sido olvidada y descuidada por la mayoría de la erudición hasta hace poco, es aquella que devuelve a la tierra de España, conocida por su despiadada persecución antiprotestante en el siglo XVI, una joya en su a menudo desestimado patrimonio protestante.

This book examines the effects of Jewish conversions to Christianity in late medieval Spanish society. Ingram focuses on these converts and their descendants (known as conversos) not as Judaizers, but as Christian humanists, mystics and evangelists, who attempt to create a new society based on quietist religious practice, merit, and toleration. His narrative takes the reader on a journey from the late fourteenth-century conversions and the first blood purity laws (designed to marginalize conversos), through the early sixteenth-century Erasmian and radical mystical movements, to a Counter-Reformation environment in which conversos become the advocates for pacifism and concordance. His account ends at the court of Philip IV, where growing intolerance towards Madrid’s converso courtiers is subtly attacked by Spain’s greatest painter, Diego Velázquez, in his work, Los Borrachos. Finally, Ingram examines the historiography of early modern Spain, in which he argues the converso reform phenomenon continues to be underexplored.

The Inquisitionis Hispanicae Artes (Heidelberg, 1567), written by exiled Spanish Protestants, is the first systematic denunciation of the Spanish Inquisition. Its first part is a description of the Inquisition’s methods, making use of the Inquisition’s own instruction manual, which was not publicly known. Its second section presents a gallery of individuals who suffered persecution in Seville during the anti-Protestant repression (1557-1565). The book had a great impact, being almost immediately translated into English, French, Dutch, German, and Hungarian. The portraits very soon passed into Protestant martyrologies, and the most shocking descriptions (torture, auto de fe) became ammunition for anti-Spanish literature. This critical edition presents a new text as well as, for the first time, extensive notes.

This book gives today's Lutherans a sense of heritage, identity and continuity, a sense of self-understanding. Readers will see themselves as part of a family. They can identify with the struggles, hopes, and frustrations of wave after wave of immigrants adapting to the strange new world of America and at the same time trying to preserve all they had known and loved and brought with them from the homeland. The genius of the entire volume is that it points beyond family memories to an ongoing and continuing life of which we and our children are a living part. Contributors: Theodore G. Tappert, Eugene Fevold, Fred W. Meuser, H. George Anderson, August R. Suelflow, and E. Clifford Nelson.
