Publisher Description
This book studies the connections between the political reform of the Holy Roman Empire and the German lands around 1500 and the sixteenth-century religious reformations. It argues that the character of the political changes blocked both a general reformation of the Church before 1520 and a national reformation thereafter, resulting in an arrangement that maintained the public peace through politically structured religious communities.
