Protestants: The Birth of a Revolution by Steven Ozment (English) Paperback Book

Description: Protestants by Steven Ozment Rather than viewing the Protestant Revolution as a progenitor of German absolutism, like so many of his colleagues do, Ozment finds in Protestantism the assertion of key Western values--individual religious conviction, hard work, and the rejection of hypocrisy and empty ritual. 15 illustrations. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Who were the first men and women who abandoned the Church of Rome and became the worlds first Protestants? Harvard historian Steven Ozment does not present us with the remote, dusty figures of history, but rather with the shoemakers and housewives, students and politicians who were among the first followers of Martin Luther. Using pamphlets, diaries, letters, and other primary soruces, Ozment examines the origins of the Reformation and the nature of Protestantism. Rather than seeing the Reformation as the progenitor of German absolutism, as do many scholars of the period, Ozment sees in Protestantism the historic assertion of key Western values--social reform, individual religious conviction, hard work, and the rejection of corruption, hypocrisy, and empty ritual.
