Religion and Culture in Germany (1400-1800): 81 (Studies in Medieval & Reformation Thought) - Tapa dura
Críticas
'Bob Scribner's death was a terrible loss for our scholarly world. The many brilliant ideas advanced and defended in this volume are a worthy tribute to his effervescent and charismatic energy.' H.C. Erik Midelfort, Sixteenth Century Journal, 2005. 'This collection of essays is extremely valuable both in its own right and, especially, for the glimpses it provides into Scribner's proposed reinterpretation of the Reformation.' Ronald K. Rittgers, The Medieval Review, 2003.
Reseña del editor
The late Bob Scribner was one of the most original and provocative historians of the German Reformation. His truly pioneering spirit comes to light in this collection of his most recent essays. In the years before his death, Scribner explored the role of the senses in late medieval devotional culture, and wondered how the Reformation changed sensual attitudes. Further essays examine the nature of popular culture and the way the Reformation was institutionalised, considering Anabaptist ideals of the community of goods, literacy and heterodoxy, and the dynamics of power as they unfold in a case of witchcraft. The final section of the book consists of three iconoclastic essays, which, together, form a sustained assault on the argument first advanced by Max Weber that the Reformation created a rational, modern religion. Scribner shows that, far from being rationalist and anti-magical, Protestants had their own brand of magic. These fine essays are certain to spark off debate, not only among historians of the Reformation, but also among art historians and anyone interested in the nature of culture.
