This is an examination of human encounter with death in Germany
from the eve of the Reformation to the rise of Pietism. The
Protestant Reformation transformed the funeral more profoundly than
any other ritual of the traditional church. Luther's doctrine of
salvation by faith alone made the foundation of the traditional
funeral, intercession for the dead in Purgatory, obsolete. By
drawing on anthropological interpretations of death ritual, this
study explores the changing relationships between the body, the
soul, the living and the dead in the daily life of early modern
Germany.
