Peter Matheson has written the first study in English of the Reformation as a literary phenomenon. This book traces the first emergence of a 'public opinion' in European history. Using insights from social history, religion and literature, Professor Matheson explores the connection between the 'communal Reformation' and the outpouring of pamphlets in the early 1520's. These pamphlets helped create a dynamic and subversive network of communication where language and structure were of equal importance. He also examines the relative strengths of polemical and dialogical approaches in winning adherents, the motivations of the authors, and the expectations of audiences.

What was the impact of the Third Reich and the tyranny of Adolf Hitler on the Christian Church? This compilation of 68 documents from 1933-43 provides sober yet moving answers.

Third Reich and the Christian Churches

Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co.

The aim of this book is to demonstrate that the sixteenth-century "ecumenical movement" and in particular, the colloquy between Catholics and Protestants at Regensburg in 1541, was by no means an idle "dream of an understanding" doomed from the start. Contarini's campaign for reconciliation mirrors the richness and elusiveness of pre-Tridentine Catholicism. It was the clash of cultures and politics as much as purely theological considerations that led to the failure of the Regensburg colloquy. Contarini was not without sympathy for Lutheran theology until faced by the full implications of a Protestant church and a Protestant culture. He then retreated, first to a confessional Catholicism, then to an intolerant Curialism.

Argula von Grumbach (1492-1554/7)

At a time when women were expected to stick to their household duties, according to Peter Matheson, Argula von Grumbach burst through every barrier. Matheson offers here a biography of the Reformation's first woman writer. Argula von Grumbach's first pamphlet in 1523 was reprinted all over Germany. Thousands of copies of her eight pamphlets appeared. Through her writing, von Grumbach defied her Bavarian princes (and her husband), denounced censorship, argued for an educated church and society, and developed her own understanding of faith and Scripture. She even intervened in the Imperial Diets at Nuremberg and Augsburg. Drawing for the first time on her correspondence, the author shows how von Grumbach paid dearly for her outspokenness but remained undaunted. Though some saw her as a she-devil and others as a harbinger of a new age, Matheson shows von Grumbach as a woman engaged in the life of the villages where she lived, as one motivated by the dreams she had for her children. In a time of sweeping change and risking everything for the light and truth she was given, Argula von Grumbach showed what the vision and determination of one person could achieve.

Argula von Grumbach, geb. von Stauff, war die erste Reformatorin in Europa, ihrer Zeit weit voraus. Sie wuchs in einem intellektuell offenen, hochadeligen Haushalt auf. Ihre "Universitat" war der Munchener Hof. Als Mutter von vier Kindern sah sie entsetzt zu, als 1523 der Student Arsacius Seehofer von den Ingolstadter Theologen gezwungen wurde, seinen evangelischen Glauben offentlich zu leugnen. In bisher unerhorter Weise forderte sie die Theologen auf, mit ihr, einer Laiin, offentlich zu debattieren, um ihr intolerantes Benehmen biblisch zu rechtfertigen. Dieser sensationelle Brief wurde innerhalb eines Jahres 16-mal gedruckt. Es folgten sieben andere Flugschriften. Dafur wurde Argula von Grumbach gehasst, aber auch gefeiert - unter anderem von Martin Luther, mit dem sie langjahrig korrespondierte. Sie erschien auf den Reichstagen in Nurnberg und Augsburg, wo sie die protestantischen Fursten ermahnte, standhaft zu bleiben. Sie etablierte ein Netzwerk an Unterstutzern und grundete spater evangelische Gemeinden in Franken. Couragiert im Denken und Handeln war sie sprachlich, geistlich und politisch ein Mensch fur alle Zeiten.
