Thomas Kaufmann, the leading European scholar of the Reformation,
argues that the main motivations behind the Reformation rest in
religion itself. The Reformation began far from Europe's
traditional political, economic, and cultural power centres, and
yet it threw the whole continent into turmoil. There has been
intense speculation over the last century focusing on the political
and social causes that lay at the root of this revolution. Thomas
Kaufmann, one of the world's leading experts on the Reformation,
sees the most important drivers for what happened in religion
itself. The reformers were principally concerned with the question
of salvation. It could all have ended with the pope's condemnation
of Luther and his teaching. But Luther believed the pope was
condemned to eternal damnation, and this was the root cause of the
great split to come. Hatred of the damned drove people to take up
arms, while countless numbers left their homes far behind and
carried the Reformation message to the furthest corners of the
earth in the hope of salvation. In The Saved and the Damned, Thomas
Kaufmann presents a dramatic overview of how Europe was transformed
by the seismic shock of the Reformation—and of how its
aftershocks reverberate right down to the present day.
