What started out as a pastoral conflict about the sale of grace for money ultimately became a catalyst for the transformation of Western culture. In \u003ci\u003eReformation in the Western World\u003c\/i\u003e, Paul Silas Peterson shows how the retrieval of the ancient Christian teachings about God's grace and the authority of Scripture influenced culture, society, and the political order. The emphasis on an egalitarian church--the \"priesthood of all believers\"--led to a more egalitarian society. In the long run, the Reformation encouraged the emergence of modern freedoms, religious tolerance, capitalism, democracy, the natural sciences, and the disenchantment of the papacy and worldly means of grace. Yet the egalitarian fruit of the Reformation was not uniform, as is seen in the persecution of detractors and Jews, and in the marginalization of women. In all its triumphs and innovations, evils and errors, the Reformation left a lasting double legacy--a divided church in need of unity and the possibilities of a liberated world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul Silas Peterson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1481315072\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781481315074\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Baylor University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/15\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.31lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.81d","brand":"Paul Silas Peterson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48453689049343,"sku":"9781481315074","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ae23f63-bcd0-4375-a9ef-37a4cc980ad9.jpg?v=1777301679","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reformation-in-the-western-world-paul-silas-peterson-9781481315074","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
