Giovanni Tortoriello provides an innovative perspective on the historical context of the early Reformation debates. It is believed that the Reformation emerged as a reaction to medieval scholasticism. Through historical analysis, the author challenges this perspective and comes to the conclusion that Luther's theology should be understood as a reaction to the Renaissance's fascination with Platonism, Hermeticism, and Kabbalah.
