Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. The German Peasants' Revolts of 1525 were a defining moment both for the Protestant Reformation and the history of European culture. But while the conflicts are well-studied, they are typically analyzed today from political and socioeconomic perspectives, whereas the protagonists themselves framed them in religious and theological terms.Luther and the Peasants takes these perspectives seriously to offer a novel and timelyreinterpretation of the uprisings. A detailed examination of peasants' religious lives reveals commitments to peace, social harmony, and the environment that came into conflict with spiritual priorities of the ProtestantReformation, notably with those of Martin Luther. Drawing on the peasants' own documents, such as the famous manifesto The Twelve Articles, the book provides a thorough re-examination their actions, including their negotiations with lords and their organization into bands and Christian brotherhoods, and a fresh analysis of their behavior in battle. This ritual reconstruction makes peasants' statements and behaviors historiographically legible for the first time, effectively giving voice to anilliterate rural people, and offers new ways of reading Luther's 1525 writings on peasants, which are among his most challenging works.In this context, the 1525 conflict betweenLuther and the peasants comes to light as the collision of two different religious worlds, each incomprehensible to the other. This, in turn, reveals the important role played by religion in a defining moment of early modern European history. Appold offers a thorough reassessment of the German Peasants' Revolts of 1525, showing how religious beliefs and practices inspired profound social change. Its particular innovation lies in reconstructing the religious beliefs of illiterate rural peasants, and bringing these into conversation with elite academic theology.
