How could the Protestant Reformation take off from Wittenberg, a tiny
town in Saxony, which contemporaries regarded as a mud hole? And how
could a man of humble origins, deeply scared by the devil, become a
charismatic leader and convince others that the Pope was the living
Antichrist? Martin Luther founded a religion which to this day
determines many people's lives, as did Jean Calvin in Geneva one
generation later. In this new edition of her best selling textbook,
Ulinka Rublack addresses these two tantalising questions. Including
evidence from the period's rich material culture, alongside a wealth
of illustrations, this is the first textbook to use the approaches of
the new cultural history to analyse how Reformation Europe came about.
Updated for the anniversary of the circulation of Luther's ninety-five
theses, Reformation Europe has been restructured for ease of teaching,
and now contains additional references to 'radical' strands of
Protestantism.
