The Hybrid Reformation - A Social, Cultural, and Intellectual History of Contending Forces (Hardcover)

Three basic forces dominated sixteenth-century religious life. Two
polarized groups, Protestant and Catholic reformers, were shaped by
theological debates, over the nature of the church, salvation,
prayer, and other issues. These debates articulated critical,
group-defining oppositions. Bystanders to the Catholic-Protestant
competition were a third force. Their reactions to reformers were
violent, opportunistic, hesitant, ambiguous, or serendipitous, much
the way social historians have described common people in the
Reformation for the last fifty years. But in an ecology of three
forces, hesitations and compromises were natural, not just among
ordinary people, but also, if more subtly, among reformers and
theologians. In this volume, Christopher Ocker offers a
constructive and nuanced alternative to the received understanding
of the Reformation. Combining the methods of intellectual,
cultural, and social history, his book demonstrates how the
Reformation became a hybrid movement produced by a binary of
Catholic and Protestant self-definitions, by bystanders to
religious debate, and by the hesitations and compromises made by
all three groups during the religious controversy.
