The German People and the Reformation
"In the past, scholars tended to treat the Reformation as a chapter in the history of ideas, emphasizing the thought of the major reformers and the changes in Christian doctrine. Today, however, more and more historians are asking how the revolution in theology affected the lives of ordinary men and women. Aware that religious faith is part of the larger cultural and material universe of early modern Europeans, these scholars have exploited hitherto neglected sources in an attempt to reconstruct the people's Reformation. The twelve essays commissioned for this collection represent the broad spectrum of recent scholarship in the social history of the German Reformation. Historians from variou...
The Lutheran Confessions
In this important new volume, Arand, Kolb, and Nestingen bring the fruit of an entire generation of scholarship to bear on these documents, making it an essential and up-to-date class text. The Lutheran Confessions places the documents solidly within their political, social, ecclesiastical and theological contexts, relating them to the world in which they took place. Though the book is not a theology of the Confessions, readers will clearly understand the issues at stake in the narratives, both in their own time, and in ours.
Nikolaus Von Amsdorf (1483-1565): Popular Polemics in the Preservation of Luther's Legacy
Deals with Amsdorf's role in developing the understanding of Luther in the years after his death.
Luther, Conflict, and Christendom
Martin Luther - monk, priest, intellectual, or revolutionary - has been a controversial figure since the sixteenth century. Most studies of Luther stress his personality, his ideas, and his ambitions as a church reformer. In this book, Christopher Ocker brings a new perspective to this topic, arguing that the different ways people thought about Luther mattered far more than who he really was. Providing an accessible, highly contextual, and non-partisan introduction, Ocker says that religious conflict itself served as the engine of religious change. He shows that the Luther affair had a complex political anatomy which extended far beyond the borders of Germany, making the debate an international one from the very start. His study links the Reformation to pluralism within western religion and to the coexistence of religions and secularism in today's world. Luther, Conflict, and Christendom includes a detailed chronological chart.
Popular Culture and Popular Movements in Reformation Germany
The Reformation has traditionally been explained in terms of theology, the corruption of the church and the role of princes. R.W. Scribner, while not denying the importance of these, shifts the context of study of the German Reformation to an examination of popular beliefs and behaviour, and of the reactions of local authorities to the problems and opportunities for social as well as religious reform. This book brings together a coherent body of work that has appeared since 1975, including two entirely new essays and two previously published only in German.

Das Ende der Reformation
English summary: Thomas Kaufmann examines the publications of the so-called Herrgotts Kanzlei, which produced more than 400 pamphlets during the Interim crisis in Magdeburg, thus articulating the only effective resistance to the religious policies of Charles V. He shows how the Herrgotts Kanzlei plays a key role in the interpretation of the Lutheran Reformation and its internal pluralization. In addition to a description of the infrastructural prerequisites, the author categorizes and analyzes the material from a literary and theological perspective, taking into account the publication strategy as well. He also shows the premises of anti-Interim journalism and the position taken by the city ...
Interim und Apokalypse
English summary: At the Lord God's Chancery the Antichrist came to a stop. This is how the Protestant theologians who had fled to Magdeburg interpreted the resistance of the city against the Augsburg Interim and the articles presented at the Diet of Leipzig. They perceived the Emperor, the Empire and the theologians in electoral Saxony as servants of the Antichrist and as false prophets against whose attacks Luther's work and legacy had to be preserved.Anja Moritz examines the aspects and effects of the apocalyptic interpretation in the Magdeburg prints published between 1548 and 1552. Against the backdrop of attempts at religious unification since 1530, she analyzes the reactions to the Int...
