The clergy were the main intellectual leaders of communities, so their emphasis on these Wunderzeichen ('wonder-signs') would have had a significant effect on the laity. As Protestantism took hold, there was a desire among many influential theologians to underline the need for doctrinal acceptance. Divine omens or signs of apocalyptic warning were a useful way to encourage obedience and respect for clerical authority. Kurihara examines how and why interest in these events grew in this period, how the clergy exploited these beliefs and the role of sectarianism in Germany at this time. 410 0$aReligious cultures in the early modern world ;$vno. 13. 606 $aAstronomy$xReligious aspects$xChristianity 606 $aReformation$zGermany 615 0$aAstronomy$xReligious aspects$xChristianity. 615 0$aReformation 676 $a200.94309031 686 $a8,1$2ssgn 700 $aKurihara$b Ken$01629749 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810133903321 996 $aCelestial wonders in Reformation Germany$93967671 997 $aUNINA
