Examines early modern English literary representations of Jews and Muslims converting to Christianity alongside English translations of Calvin’s writings, polemical writings, treaties on the sacraments, catechisms, and sermons. Demonstrates that the development of a theology of race in post-Reformation England helped resolved doctrinal controversies about baptism.
