The publication of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses in 1517
immediately elicited responses from dozens of Roman Catholics in
Germany and beyond. While Luther's works and those of his leading
supporters have been available in English translation for many
years, those of most of his Catholic opponents have not. In order
to address this imbalance, win a fairer hearing for the Catholic
opposition, and make it possible for students to understand both
sides of the sixteenth-century religious debates, translators have
drawn on the rich resources of the Kessler Reformation Collection
at the Pitts Theology Library to present here introductions to and
translations of ten Catholic pamphlets. The volume begins with an
essay sketching the larger background for these publications. The
editors' hope is that this book will prove useful for teaching and
research and will foster a deeper understanding of the
sixteenth-century theological discussions by allowing today's
readers to hear voices that have been mostly silent in the
English-speaking world for centuries.
