It inaugurated the Protestant Reformation, and has for centuries been a powerful and enduring symbol of religious freedom of conscience, and of righteous protest against the abuse of power. But did it actually really happen? In this engagingly-written, wide-ranging and insightful work of cultural history, leading Reformation historian Peter Marshall reviews the available evidence, and concludes that, very probably, it did not. The theses-posting is a myth. And yet, Marshall argues, this fact makes the incident all the more historically significant. In tracing how--and why--a "non-event" ended up becoming a defining episode of the modern historical imagination, Marshall compellingly explores the multiple ways in which the figure of Martin Luther, and the nature of the Reformation itself, have been remembered and used for their own purposes by subsequent generations of Protestants and others--in Germany, Britain, the United States, and elsewhere. As people in Europe, and across the world, prepare to remember, and celebrate, the 500th anniversary of Luther's posting of the theses, this book offers a timely contribution and corrective. The intention is not to 'debunk', or to belittle Luther's achievement, but rather to invite renewed reflection on how the past speaks to the present--and on how, all too often, the present creates the past in its own image and likeness."-- |cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Online resource; title from PDF title page (EBSCO, viewed August 17, 2017). 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 16th century|2fast 648 7 1500-1599|2fast 650 0 Reformation|zGermany.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85112233 650 0 Reformation|zEurope.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2010110361 650 0 Protestantism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85107718 650 7 Reformation.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1092555 650 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/860740 650 7 Protestantism.|2aat 650 7 Protestantism.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1079920 650 7 RELIGION|xChristianity|xHistory.|2bisacsh 651 0 Germany|xChurch history|y16th century.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh85054476 651 7 Germany.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1210272 651 7 Europe.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1245064 655 7 Church history.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1411629 776 08 |iPrint version:|aMarshall, Peter, 1964 October 26-|t1517. |bFirst edition.|dOxford, United Kingdom : Oxford University Press, 2017|z9780199682010|w(DLC) 2016963341 |w(OCoLC)1002073110 830 0 Ebsco e-books. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1564793|zOnline ebook via EBSCO.
