Pioneering work on the results of the Lutheran Reformation,
By
This review is from: The Reformation of Ritual: An Interpretation of Early Modern Germany (Christianity and Society in the Modern World) (Hardcover)
Using the Visitation records of the Reformation period, (Lutheran Bishops-Superintendants were required to visit all of their congregations) Prof. Karant-Nunn writes a very interesting work on how the Lutheran Reformation reformed the meaning of ritual in parish life.
Table of contents: "Introduction, Engagement and marriage ceremonies: taming the beast within, To beat the Devil: baptism and the conquest of sin, Churching-a woman's rite, Repentance-confession-and the Lord's Table: separating the divine from the human, Banning the dead and ordering the living: the selective retention of Catholic practice, Ritual change: conclusions." This work was later used in "Worship Wars in Early Lutheranism." An interesting anthropological study of what the reformation meant in the life of small villages and the like. |
