This book examines the impact of the Protestant Reformation on both
the ideal and practice of marriage in sixteenth-century Germany.
Combining extensive archival work with a broad synthesis of
scholarly research in legal, theological, and social history, it
provides the most comprehensive evaluation to date of the
Reformation's impact on marriage. The author compares Protestant
reforming goals and achievements to those of contemporary
Catholics. All sixteenth-century campaigns to restore 'traditional
family values', he argues, must be viewed in the context of more
gradual social transformations in private morality, public
authority, and familial relations. The apparent innovations of the
reformers - including the abolition of clerical celibacy and
introduction of divorce - fade in comparison to their much greater
adherence to the theological, legal and social traditions shared
with their Catholic ancestors and contemporaries.
