Christopher Ocker

Opis

Martin Luther was the subject of a religious controversy that never really came to an end. The Reformation was a controversy about him.

Recenzje

'The book itself, in its paperback incarnation, is handsomely produced … Christopher Ocker's elegant and richly documented study also inspires a sense of déjà-vu, echoing the debates of the 1970s and '80s which pitted social historians of the Reformation against church historians …' David Bagchi, The Journal of Ecclesiastical History
