When, in October 1517, Martin Luther pinned his Ninety-Five Theses
to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg he shattered the
foundations of western Christendom. The Reformation of doctrine and
practice that followed Luther's seismic action, and protest against
the sale of indulgences, fragmented the Church and overturned
previously accepted certainties and priorities. But it did more,
challenging the relationship between spiritual and secular
authority, perceptions of the supernatural, the interpretation of
the past, the role of women in society and church, and clerical
attitudes towards marriage and sex. Drawing on the most recent
historiography, Helen L Parish locates the Protestant Reformation
in its many cultural, social and political contexts. She assesses
the Reformers' impact on art and architecture; on notions of
authority, scripture and tradition; and - reflecting on the extent
to which the printing press helped spread Reformation ideas - on
oral, print and written culture.
