English summary: Collected in this volume are several of Volker Leppin's essays from the past fifteen years. They cover ground ranging from the conflicts over Aristotle in the 13th century to the negative as well as positive reception of Martin Luther during the 16th century. As a whole, they provide a picture of late medieval to early modern times which depicts the Reformation as being less of a break with established theology, piety and the church, and more of a transformation of the existing. What is new about it, is able to be explained through the handling of traditions. At the centre stand the so-called Sola of Reformation Theology: Solus Christus, sola gratia, sola fide and sola scriptura. The more these concepts gained in exclusivity, the more distinctively there developed a reformatory profile, which nevertheless remained rooted in mysticism, piety, as well as scholasticism and humanism. German description: Der Band versammelt mehrere Aufsatze von Volker Leppin aus den vergangenen eineinhalb Jahrzehnten. Sie reichen von den Auseinandersetzungen um Aristoteles im 13. Jahrhundert bis zur negativen wie positiven Rezeption Martin Luthers im Zuge des 16. Jahrhunderts. In ihrer Gesamtheit konturieren sie ein Bild von Spatmittelalter und Fruher Neuzeit, das die Reformation weniger als Bruch mit der gangigen Theologie, Frommigkeit und Kirche erscheinen lasst, denn als eine Transformation des Vorgegebenen. "Leppin gelingt es in seinen konzisen und sorgfaltig gearbeiteten Studien, die Entwicklung von Luthers theologischem Denken und den Einfluss mittelalterlicher Theoriebildung darauf prazise nachzuzeichnen. Ein lesenswertes Buch."Dirk Fleischer in Das historisch-politische Buch 64 (2016), S. 432f
