Description
Summary:"Protestant Politics" is a treatment of religion and politics in the German Reformation. Setting aside the normative assumption of the European nation-state, Brady explores the collision of the Reformation as a religious and social movement with the dispersed, multilayered structure of authority and power in the late medieval Holy Roman Empire. The narrative thread that runs through the Reformation's stages and the Empire's levels is provided by the career of Jacob Sturm of Strasbourg, the Empire's leading Protestant urban politician.
