About This Book

The author examines the origins and course of religious reform in Germany by embedding theological disputes within their political, intellectual, and social settings. Chapters survey papal authority, the fragmented political landscape, the Renaissance and humanist scholarship, urban and rural conditions, family and popular devotion, and recurring social unrest. The narrative then follows the emergence of a leading reformer from education and monastic life into public controversy over indulgences, subsequent disputations, published treatises, and appearances before imperial assemblies, before tracing the movement's gradual advance toward legal recognition and institutional change.
