- Summary:
- Derived from the author's dissertation from U. of Arizona, this history examines the important and often volatile role played by the interpretation of the Eucharist in Protestant religion, through a focus on how Eucharistic controversy was played out among non-theologians, describing the actions and roots of activism for anti-corporeal belief in the Eucharist's symbolism among all members of society in Augsburg. Examining the city's many tracts and other popular literature, among other sources, Van Amberg (history, Tusculum College) describes the controversy surrounding the popular preacher Hans Schilling, the church building and religious agenda of Michael Keller, and the various sacramentarian sects in the city, among other topics, demonstrating in part how local politics and economics could play an important role in which side people chose in the Eucharistic controversy.
