This first volume of a major reassessment of the last five
centuries of German history deals with that age of German history
which had the widest effect on the rise of modern Western
civilization. Against the background of medieval culture, the
author shows the origins of Luther's religion and the growth of
various Protestant churches, as well as the subsequent restoration
of the Roman Catholic Church. The history of the religious
movements of the Reformation and the Counter Reformation is closely
co-ordinated with the great transformation simultaneously taking
place in the social, economic, and intellectual institutions of
Europe. Included are detailed discussions of the effects of the
Black Death, the rise of the cities, Luther's social ethics, The
Thirty Years' War, and the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
