Description: 'a vital resource TLS Compelling collection Literary Review The Reformation was a seismic event in history whose consequences are still unfolding in Europe and across the world. Martin Luther's protests against the marketing of indulgences in 1517 were part of a long - standing pattern of calls for reform in the Christian Church. But they rapidly took a radical and unexpected turn engulfing first Germany and then Europe in furious arguments about how God's will was to be 'saved'. However these debates did not remain confined to a narrow sphere of theology. They came to reshape politics and international relations; social cultural and artistic developments; relations between the sexes; and the patterns and performances of everyday life. They were also the stimulus for Christianity's transformation into a truly global religion as agents of the Roman Catholic Church sought to compensate for losses in Europe with new conversions in Asia and the Americas. Covering both Protestant and Catholic reform movements in Europe and across the wider world this compact volume tells the story of the Reformation from its immediate explosive beginnings through to its profound longer - term consequences and legacy for the modern world. The story is not one of an inevitable triumph of liberty over oppression enlightenment over ignorance. Rather it tells how a multitude of rival groups and individuals with or without the support of political power strove after visions of 'reform'. And how in spite of themselves they laid the foundations for the plural and conflicted world we now inhabit.
