Worshiping with the Reformers

History & Biography

“Karin Maag provides an expert view of the lived experience of religion in the Reformation era. Illustrated by an array of vivid examples, this book analyzes the role of states, clergy, and communities in the formation of religious cultures. Maag highlights the diversity both within and between the evolving Christian traditions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. This very readable account of the complex and fluid religious landscape of early modern Europe will be of great interest to those interested in the Reformation as well as those reflecting on the roots of contemporary debates about worship.”
