The debate over the Lord's Supper had momentous consequences for
the Reformation, causing the division of the evangelical movement,
influencing the formation of political alliances, and contributing
to cultural differences among the Protestant territories of Germany
and Switzerland. Karlstadtand the Origins of the Eucharistic
Controversy is the first full-length study of the beginning of that
debate. Going beyond the traditional focus on Martin Luther and
Ulrich Zwingli, it emphasizes the diversity of the "sacramentarian"
challenge to traditional belief in Christ's corporeal presence in
the bread and wine of the Eucharist, and it re-evaluates the
significance of Luther's colleague, Andreas Bodenstein von
Karlstadt, for the debate. Burnett describes Luther's earliest
criticisms of the mass and the efforts in Wittenberg to reform
liturgical praxis to correspond with his ideas. She then looks at
pamphlets written by other reformers to show how Luther's
understanding of the sacrament was adapted and modified outside of
Wittenberg. Ultimately, Burnett shows how Karlstadt's eucharistic
pamphlets introduced into the public debate arguments that would
become standard Reformed criticisms of the Lutheran position. The
book also demonstrates the influence not only of Erasmus but also
of John Wyclif and the Hussites for discussions of the sacrament,
highlights the role of the reformers of Basel and Strasbourg for
developing the "Zwinglian" understanding of the Lord's Supper, and
draws attention to the early eucharistic theology of the Silesians
Kaspar Schwenckfeld and Valentin Krautwald. This book will be an
indispensable guide for readers seeking to understand the issues
surrounding the outbreak of the eucharistic controversy in the
sixteenth century.
