The Social Side of the Reformation in Germany (Classic Reprint) - Brossura
Sinossi
Excerpt from The Social Side of the Reformation in Germany
The present volume, the third of the series, concludes our studies of the social side of the Reformation in Germany. Anabaptism was essentially a German product and did not take root in the Latin countries. But the importance of this great movement in all lands possessing a strong Teutonic element, not even excluding England, has been little realised by the average historian. The latter has been inclined for the most part to dismiss this tremendous upheaval of the disinherited classes at the close of the Middle Ages with a few paragraphs of abuse and often misrepresentation. We may regard Anabaptism as the culminating effort of mediæval Christian Communism, which saw in the communisation of worldly goods (understanding by this the economic products designed for consumption) the farthest goal of man's social existence. The modern notion of the socialisation of the means of production was not as yet thought of, as it was not even conceivably possible at the then stage of economic evolution.

Valutazione del venditore 5 su 5 stelle
Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the origins, doctrines, and practices of the Anabaptist movement, a prominent religious and social force during the Reformation era. The author traces the movement's roots to the radical wing of Swiss Protestantism, particularly in Zurich, and explores the factors that led to its widespread appeal throughout central Europe. The book discusses the Anabaptists' distinctive beliefs, such as the importance of adult baptism, the rejection of infant baptism, and the establishment of autonomous religious communities. It examines the movement's social and political dimensions, including the role of communalism and the rejection of traditional authority. Through meticulous research and analysis, the author sheds light on the complexities and contradictions within the Anabaptist movement, exploring the tensions between its pacifist and revolutionary tendencies, and its impact on the broader religious and political landscape of the time. The book concludes by highlighting the legacy of the Anabaptists, whose ideas and practices continue to resonate in contemporary religious and social movements. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
