Church Robbers and Reformers in Germany, 1525-1547 - Confiscation and Religious Purpose in the Holy Roman Empire

This is a study of the religious controversy that broke out with Martin Luther, from the vantage of church property. The book shows how "acceptance" of confiscation was won, and how theological advice was essential to the success of what is sometimes called a crucial if early stage of confessional state-building.
