Book Description
On 13 June 1525, Martin Luther married Katharina von Bora, a former nun, in a private ceremony officiated by city preacher Johann Bugenhagen. Whilst Luther was not the first former monk or Reformer to marry, his marriage immediately became one of the iconic episodes of the Protestant Reformation. From that point on, the marital status of clergy would be a pivotal dividing line between the Catholic and Protestant churches. Tackling the early stages of this divide, this book provides a fresh assessment of clerical marriage in the first half of the sixteenth century, when the debates were undecided and the intellectual and institutional situation remained fluid and changeable. It investigates the way that clerical marriage was received, and viewed in the dioceses of Mainz and Magdeburg under Archbishop Albrecht of Brandenburg from 1513 to 1545. By concentrating on a cross-section of rural and urban settings from three key regions within this territory - Saxony, Franconia, and Swabia - the study is able to present a broad comparison of reactions to this contentious issue. Although the marital status of the clergy remains perhaps the most identifiable difference between Protestant and Roman Catholic churches, remarkably little research has been done on how the shift from a "celibate" to a married clergy took place during the Reformation in Germany or what reactions such a move elicited. As such, this book will be welcomed by all those wishing to gain greater insight, not only into the theological debates, but also into the interactions between social identity, governance, and religious practice.

Book Description
Women and the Counter-Reformation in Early Modern Münster examines how women from different social backgrounds encountered the Counter-Reformation. The focus is on Münster, a city in the north of Germany, which was exposed to powerful Protestant influences which culminated in the notorious Anabaptist kingdom of 1534. After the defeat of the radical Protestants, the city was returned to Catholicism and a stringent programme of reform was enforced. By examining concubinage, piety, marriage, deviance, and convent reform, core issues of the Counter-Reformation's quest for renewal, this fascinating study shows how women participated in the social and religious changes of the time, and how their lives were shaped by the Counter-Reformation. Employing research into the political, religious, and social institutions, and using an impressive variety of sources, Simone Laqua-O'Donnell engages with the way women experienced the new religiosity, morality, and discipline that was introduced to the city of Münster during this turbulent time.

Book Description
In the year 2002 after a brief tragedy, the Lord inspired me to write this book about my life as a pastor’s wife. In no way has this book been written to bash or to discredit anyone, mainly my husband. After getting his consent, we both felt that this book would help many of those who are married and in ministry with marital problems. We believe that instead of saving our reputations it would be more feasible to save a marriage. Because we are not afraid to share our lives with the public. Either it’s gotten better or it has gotten worse, and for us we embrace the words “Stronger, better, and still together”. Through it all, God has strengthened me to become a woman of great strength and because of the suffering I found my security in Christ Jesus to be my everyday dependancy. I thank God, my husband and children, and church family for their prayers and support throughout the duration of writing this book about our lives. So please don’t judge me, pray for me that I would continue to be the woman of God, Wife, and mother that God will be pleased with.

Eight contributions, written by historians with specialist research knowledge in the field, offer the reader a wide-ranging synthesis of the main concerns of current historiography.

Book Description
From Ho (Whore) to Holy details the journey of a person going from innocence to idolatry, and back to righteousness, by mirroring Marcia's life steps to those of Israel, the "apple of God's eye." Israel was created by the Creator, because of his desire to have a wife, a people, and a family. Israel is important to all human beings, because it is the focus of what God has planned for all of us, individually! But Israel wanted freedom (from one god) and fun, by seeking many lovers (different gods), which in essence, constituted idolatry. How can the whorish Israel ever become a loyal and righteous wife (nation) again? By traveling through Marcia's life, we realize that Israel will be the wife of God, and believers will be the wife of Jesus! The book details the steps of becoming a harlot, characteristics of a whore, consequences of whoredom, steps to take to stop whoredom, how to be transformed (with benefits), ensuring that one becomes holy, and no longer living as a ho. There are some women in the Bible who were transformed, with benefits, which included Ruth, Tamar, and Mary Magdalene. There were some who pretended to be transformed, but were not, such as Samson. And then, there were those who no longer practiced whoredom, changed, and became a wife, such as Rahab. This book allows self-assessment of ones level of holiness, righteousness, and intimacy with God.
