[227]-231) and index.Ambiguous identities -- Religious tensions in the 1520s -- Anabaptists: a special case? -- Magisterial reform and religious deviance -- Making the bi-confessional city: political -- Making the bi-confessional city: religious -- Conclusion.Debate over the usefulness of the confessionalization paradigm for understanding how Europeans responded to religious differences resulting from the Reformation has obscured people's experiences during the early years of reform. Based on interrogations recorded in Augsburg, Germany, in the first half of the sixteenth century, the compelling portraits of individual believers presented in this book provide a rare insight into the lives of ordinary people during one of the most controversial periods in religious history. Speaking about their faith and encounters with others in their own words, they rephrase the debate in terms of contemporary experiences. The resulting study challenges previous assumptions about the importance of belief in constructing religious identities and reveals the potential for accommodation amidst conflict.Studies in Central European histories ;v. 45.ReformationGermanyAugsburgIdentification (Religion)Augsburg (Germany)Church history16th centuryElectronic books.ReformationIdentification (Religion)274.3/37506Hanson Michele Zelinsky861144MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910455300903321Religious identity in an early Reformation community1921970UNINA
