The late Bob Scribner was one of the most original and provocative
historians of the German Reformation. His truly pioneering spirit
comes to light in this collection of his most recent essays.
In the years before his death, Scribner explored the role of the
senses in late medieval devotional culture, and wondered how the
Reformation changed sensual attitudes. Further essays examine the
nature of popular culture and the way the Reformation was
institutionalised, considering Anabaptist ideals of the community
of goods, literacy and heterodoxy, and the dynamics of power as
they unfold in a case of witchcraft.
The final section of the book consists of three iconoclastic
essays, which, together, form a sustained assault on the argument
first advanced by Max Weber that the Reformation created a
rational, modern religion. Scribner shows that, far from being
rationalist and anti-magical, Protestants had their own brand of
magic. These fine essays are certain to spark off debate, not only
among historians of the Reformation, but also among art historians
and anyone interested in the nature of culture.
