In this RCS companion volume, Karin Maag takes readers inside the worshiping life of the church during the Reformation. Exploring several aspects of the church's worship, she considers what it was like to attend church, reforms in preaching, the function of prayer, how Christians experienced the sacraments, and the roles of both visual art and music in worship.
The book explores the profound transformations of the Reformation, highlighting shifts in theology, worship, and the dynamics between laypeople and clergy. It examines how these changes redefined early modern Christians' perceptions of their relationship with God and each other. By understanding the Reformation's historical significance, contemporary Christians can gain insights into current challenges and conflicts, fostering a deeper appreciation for their faith's evolution and relevance today.
