Oxford University Press, USA. Hardcover. New. Hardcover. 256 pages. Dimensions: 9.6in. x 6.5in. x 0.9in.Catholics and Protestants have, since the earliest days of the Reformation, held markedly different views about the Virgin Mary. In Reforming Mary Beth Kreitzer examines the development of Lutheran views on this subject as expressed in 16th-century Lutheran published sermons, starting with the earliest of Luthers own Reformation sermons. She shows that from the beginning Lutherans rejected much of the theology and piety that surrounded Mary in Catholicism, especially her status as heavenly queen and intercessor with Christ. They affirmed those orthodox teachings about Mary that related to Christ (the Virgins role as Theotokos, the virgin birth) and by extension Marys purity, or perpetual virginity. As time went on Lutheran preachers showed less interest in Mary as a topic and by the later part of the century showed an increasingly harsh and critical view of her. These later sermons reveal a new willingness, in opposition to received tradition, to impute sin to Mary. Kreitzer attributes this changed attitude to the increasing distance of Lutherans from their Catholic roots, the logical results of theological changes in the Reformation, and a perception of an increased threat of re-catholicization. Finally, she shows, Mary was pressed into service by preachers who endeavored to instruct the laity in both what to believe and how to live, making a causal connection between being a good Christian and being a good citizen of society. In this context, Mary was used as a role model and was often promoted as an exemplar for females in ways that served to constrain and domesticate women, placing them more firmly under male authority. But despite the attempts by preachers to domesticate and mold her, Kreitzer argues, the Lutheran Mary remains a complex and paradoxical figure. This item ships from multiple locations.

This Book is in Good Condition. Clean Copy With Light Amount of Wear. 100% Guaranteed. Summary: "Her comparison of the "Lutheran Mary" to the "medieval Mary," her description of evolving Lutheran preaching tradition, and her attention to gender issues makes Reforming Mary an engaging and informative study."--Lutheran Quarterly".clearly defined, sharply focused, and convincingly presented."--Renaissance Quarterly"A thoughtful, careful contribution to the intellectual history of sixteenth century reformations."--American Historical Review"Beth Kreitzer provides two original analyses for the price of one. She tells us what Martin Luther came to think about the Virgin Mary--and what some of his major followers, later in the century, preached about her. The results in these categories are not the same. Mary's portrayal brought her down from the position of active player in salvation to model of pious submission for women and, in this disciplinary era, men. This careful study presents theharsher criticism that Lutheran divines, beginning with Melanchthon, leveled at the still ever-Virgin Mother of God."--Susan C. Karant-Nunn, author of The Reformation of Ritual: An Interpretation of Early Modern Germany"Although the case could be made that many Protestants today have all but forgotten Mary (except, of course, during Christmas pageants), Beth Kreizers nuanced and ground-breaking study argues that it was not always so. If many Mariological beliefs and practices were challenged and changed by Protestants in the wake of the ReformationMary was by no means forced into retirement. Kreitzer draws on a trove of neglected and long out-of-print sermon collections toreconstruct what Lutheran Christians in the pew would have been taught about the mother of Jesus, and how the Lutheran portrait of Mary evolved over the course of the sixteenth century's increasingly hostile debates with Catholicism. Kreitzers book provides a wonderful window into these sources of lowtheology for anyone interested in the figure of Mary.----John L. Thompson, author of Writing the Wrongs: Women of the Old Testament Among Biblical Commentators from Philo through the Reformation"Kreitzer uses the lively texts of Lutheran sermons--by Luther himself and other preachers--to investigate the impact of the Protestant Reformation on beliefs about Mary. Was she still to be emulated? Did she provide a special model for women? The book provides food for thought not only for scholars of religion, but also for those interested in the role of the Virgin for contemporary Christians."--Merry Wiesner-Hanks, Professor of History and Director of theCenter for Women's Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
