Remaking the Bible: English Reformation Spiritual Conduct Books
View through CrossRef
Among the thousands of devotional works produced in the centuries following the English Reformation are hundreds that may be called spiritual conduct books. This article defines the term "spiritual conduct book" on the basis of a text's purpose and audience. Unlike more familiar secular conduct books, such as Castiglione's Book of the Courtier, spiritual conduct books place success in the next world above success in this world. This group of books, although derived from the Bible and from biblical commentary, also reflects secular interests, including class conflicts.
