Taking the religiously diverse city of Augsburg as its focus, this
book explores the underappreciated role of local clergy in
mediating and interpreting the Peace of Augsburg in the decades
following its 1555 enactment, focusing on the efforts of the
preacher Johann Meckhart and his heirs in blunting the cultural
impact of confessional religion. It argues that the real drama of
confessionalization was not simply that which played out between
princes and theologians, or even, for that matter, between
religions; rather, it lay in the daily struggle of clerics in the
proverbial trenches of their ministry, who were increasingly
pressured to choose for themselves and for their congregations
between doctrinal purity and civil peace.
