Religiöse Dynamik Zwischen 1380 Und 1520: Antriebskräfte Der Mentalität, Frömmigkeit, Theologie, Bildkultur Und Kirchenreform

That the period between 1380 and 1520 did not see a late medieval setting of the sun on, but rather the dawn of a powerful new era of dynamic religion is the main thesis of Berndt Hamm's new volume presented here. Driven by a fearful anticipation of the afterlife and fuelled by a desire for grace and salvation, religion was propelled towards piety, theology, and pastoral care, which in turn gave rise to a surge in sacred artistic expression.
