Why did people choose the Reformation? What was it in the
evangelical teaching that excited, moved or persuaded them? Andrew
Pettegree here tackles these questions directly by re-examining the
reasons that moved millions to this decisive and traumatic break
with a shared Christian past. He charts the separation from family,
friends, and workmates that adherence to the new faith often
entailed and the new solidarities that emerged in their place. He
explores the different media of conversion through which the
Reformation message was communicated and imbibed - the role of
drama, sermons, song and the book - and argues that the potency of
print can only be understood as working in harmony with more
traditional modes of communication. His findings offer a persuasive
new answer to the critical question of how the Reformation could
succeed as a mass movement in an age before mass literacy.
