Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Thomas Kaufmann, the leading European scholar of the Reformation, argues that the main motivations behind the Reformation rest in religion itself.The Reformation began far from Europe's traditional political, economic, and cultural power centres, and yet it threw the whole continent into turmoil. There has been intense speculation over the last century focusing onthe political and social causes that lay at the rootof this revolution. Thomas Kaufmann, one of the world's leading experts on the Reformation, sees the most important drivers for what happened in religion itself. The reformers were principally concerned with thequestion of salvation. It could all have ended with the pope's condemnation of Luther and his teaching. But Luther believed the pope was condemned to eternal damnation, and this was the root cause of the great split to come. Hatred of the damned drove people to take up arms, while countless numbers left their homes far behind and carried the Reformation message to the furthest corners of the earth in the hope of salvation.In The Saved and the Damned, ThomasKaufmann presents a dramatic overview of how Europe was transformed by the seismic shock of the Reformation--and of how its aftershocks reverberate right down to the present day. Leading scholar Thomas Kaufmann argues that the main motivations behind the Reformation rest in religion itself: the Reformers were concerned with the salvation of the soul.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. An exploration of the 1525 German Peasants' War which emphasises the crucial role of media and the printing press in the conflict and its legacy.Why did German agrarian protests, normally very local or regional, all meld together into one vast uprising that became the 1525 Peasants War? Thomas Kaufmann emphatically argues that the recent availability of printing, which created links between the various regions of revolt, led to the conflict distinguishing itself as the largest of all uprisings in German medieval and early modern history. He reveals the Peasants War to be a media event driven by its major document, the Twelve Articles, which became the universal programme, printed in numbers to rival even Martin Luthers key texts of the time.The book offers an overview of the historiography of the war since the 16th century, starting with Luther and his printed interventions through to the competing interpretations of the Peasants' War which developed and lived on in the history of the two German states. It goes on to deal with print before the war, setting out the tropes and images which would be utilised in the struggle. Kaufmann examines the literature of the Peasants War itself, through the analysis of around 250 printed publications, and lastly explores the historical significance of the war and its legacy in art, literature, political theory and theology.The German Peasants War of 1525 thus provides both an overall history of the conflict and a compelling new interpretation of it: print powered the spread of ideas, radicalised positions and ultimately made a senseless war bigger than it otherwise would have been.
