students are particularly invited to share the results of their work
with members. The Society is keen to promote Reformation and
Renaissance scholarship in all its aspects - theology,
spirituality and related disciplines.
The Society sponsors a journal called 'Reformation and Renaissance Review',
to be published by Sheffield Academic Press. All papers presented at
the Society's Conferences are eligible for publication in this Journal,
subject to the normal refereeing process.
The Society is developing a website at the following URL

a focus for all Society members working in the field of Reformation
and Renaissance Studies.

will be thirty-six pounds fifty pence sterling per person per day.
Non-members will pay an additional fee of thirty-five pounds sterling on
