Matthias Pohlig: Religious Decision-Making in the Reformation 0:58

It is a widespread belief that the Reformation introduced the possibility of choosing between different variants of the Christian faith.

But it is also acknowledged that very little changed on the ground. Why after all did a cash-strapped, politically-besieged regime sponsor a globe-trotting tour of jails and reformatories?…

One phenomenon, however, has been missed completely, in older as well as more recent histo…
