Beschreibung
The Protestant Reformation, begun with Martin Luther’s posting of The Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, rapidly escalated into an evangelical reform movement that transformed European Christianity. Less than a decade later, a massive rebellion of German commoners challenged the social and political order in what would prove to be the greatest popular rebellion in European history until the French Revolution.
In this volume, Michael Baylor explores the relationship between these two momentous upheavals — one enduring, the other fleeting — and the centuries-long debate over whether and how they might be connected. A collection of period documents offer first-hand accounts from the reformers, rebels, and the institutions they sought to topple.
Includes a number of diverse documents including letters, sermons, pamphlets and illustrationsDocument headnotes and annotations, a chronology, questions for consideration, a selected bibliography, and index offer additional pedagogical supportProvides a synthesis of evidence and voices which gives students a rich introduction to the history of this period and develops historiographical skillsWritten by an expert in the field
