Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines medieval sermons explaining the Gospels to common German-speaking Christian folk who lived around the turn of the sixteenth century. The author delves into German religious life as a new era was dawning, balancing historical analysis of published sermons with insights from hitherto unpublished plenary indulgences and sermons from the period. By focusing on the textual evidence, the author brings the religious lives of ordinary people into sharp focus. By analyzing the Gospels, sermons, and indulgences of the time, we can learn what preachers believed the average layperson needed to know for salvation and social cohesion. At the same time, we glimpse medieval Christianity from the perspective of the common people, not just the elite, experts, and theologians who typically receive the most scholarly attention. The result is a unique and fascinating volume that sheds light on an important but understudied historical era.
