Pope Paul III and the Cultural Politics of Reform - 1534-1549

Informationen zum Autor Bryan Cussen is a Research Associate in the Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Studies at Monash University. Klappentext When Paul III was elected in 1534, hopes arose across Christendom that this pope would at last reform and reunite the Church. During his fifteen-year reign, though, Paul's engagement with reform was complex and contentious. This study makes a provocative case that Paul called the Council of Trent to contain reform rather than promote it.
