Craig Harline begins with the story of young Jacob Rolandus, the son of a Dutch Reformed preacher, who converted to Catholicism in 1654 and ran away from home, causing his family to disown him.

A World Ablaze: The Rise of Martin Luther and the Birth of the Reformation
ISBN: 9780190275181 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. October 2017 marks five hundred years since Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg and launched the Protestant Reformation. At least, that's what the legend says. But with a figure like Martin Luther, who looms so large in the historical imagination, it's hard to separate the legend from the life, or even sometimes to separate assorted legends from each other. Over the centuries, Luther the man has given way to Luther the icon, a polished bronze figure on a pedestal. In A World Ablaze, Craig Harline introduces us to the flesh-and-blood Martin Luther....

Pamphlets, Printing, and Political Culture in the Early Dutch Republic
ISBN: 9789401081115 / Angielski / Miękka / 2011 / 332 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. This book resulted from a desire to understand the role of pamphlets in the political life of that most curious early modern state, the Dutch Republic. The virtues of abundance and occasional liveliness have made "little blue books," as they were called, a favorite historical source-that is why I came to study them in the first place. I But the more I dug into pamphlets for this fact or that, the more questions I had about their 2 contemporary purpose and role. Who wrote pamphlets and why? For whom were they intended? How and by whom were pamphlets brought to press and distributed, and what...

Based on a treasure trove of letters, this fascinating book tells the history of a seventeenth-century nun in a convent in Leuven and how her complaints-of sexual harassment, fears of demonic possession, alliances among the other sisters against her-led to her banishment from the convent on two occasions.

The Polygamous Wives Writing Club: From the Diaries of Mormon Pioneer Women
ISBN: 9780199346509 / Angielski / Twarda / 2014 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints renounced the practice of plural marriage in 1890. In the mid- to late nineteenth century, however--the heyday of Mormon polygamy--as many as three out of every ten Mormon women became polygamous wives. Paula Kelly Harline delves deep into the diaries and autobiographies of twenty-nine such women, providing a rare window into the lives they led and revealing their views and experiences of polygamy, including their well-founded belief that their domestic contributions would help to build a foundation for generations of future Mormons....

The Rhyme and Reason of Politics in Early Modern Europe: Collected Essays of Herbert H. Rowen
ISBN: 9789401052078 / Angielski / Miękka / 2012 / 325 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 20 dni roboczych. Herbert Rowen has always insisted that historians don't need biographers.

Part I includes assessment of his work by others, while Parts ll-V contain examples of his best articles, papers, and reviews, some published here for the first time, most previously hard-to-get. These essays not only add substantively to our understanding of early...
