Summary

The regulation of theology in the Reformation era took many forms. Among the factors that shaped the procedures were the practices of the ancient and medieval church, the particular ecclesiology and polity adopted by various denominations and the authority they gave to their church officials and to new institutions, their credal statements, and the wishes of the Christian rulers in whose territories they functioned.
