Sinopsis

This book examines the history of indulgences in the Catholic Church, focusing particularly on the sixteenth-century debate sparked by Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses. The author explores the theological and practical aspects of indulgences, arguing that both reformers and traditionalists shared an understanding of indulgences as a way to mitigate temporal punishment for sins. The book traces the development of indulgences before and after Luther, analyzing how the indulgence system shaped the lives of ordinary Catholics and contributed to the broader social and political changes of the period. Ultimately, the book highlights the importance of indulgences in understanding the religious, social, and political landscape of early modern Europe.
