Origins, reception, religous disputes and securing of the Reformation movements emanating from Wittenberg, Padua and Zurich and penetrating the zone of Otoman influence are examined and discussed. The prevailing confessionalist perspectives of 19-20th centuries are called into question and replaced. On the basis of current research, the author presents impulses to stimulate the international discourse concerning Early-Modern Christianity with multi-faceted new perspectives.
