The Saved and the Damned

More about the book

The book presents a compelling argument by scholar Thomas Kaufmann, emphasizing that the Reformation was primarily driven by religious motivations. Kaufmann posits that the Reformers were deeply focused on the salvation of the soul, highlighting their spiritual concerns as the central force behind the movement. This perspective challenges common interpretations, suggesting that the Reformation's roots lie in genuine religious devotion rather than political or social factors.
