Taking the religiously diverse city of Augsburg as its focus, this book explores the underappreciated role of local clergy in mediating and interpreting the Peace of Augsburg in the decades following its 1555 enactment, focusing on the efforts of the preacher Johann Meckhart and his heirs in blunting the cultural impact of confessional religion. It argues that the real drama of confessionalization was not simply that which played out between princes and theologians, or even, for that matter, between religions; rather, it lay in the daily struggle of clerics in the proverbial trenches of their ministry, who were increasingly pressured to choose for themselves and for their congregations between doctrinal purity and civil peace.

'The 52 Attributes of God handles such questions as: - 1) Who is God? 2) What is He like? 3) How did He react to the death of Jesus? 4) How does He react to the corruption found in much of the Church? 5) To what extent can we become like God? 'The 52 Attributes of God' should prove particularly useful to religious ministers (of all denominational backgrounds), local church elders, Christian teachers, evangelists and theological students. The Messianic Jewish community and those wishing to delve deeper into theology would especially benefit. It should also be of assistance to those confused or troubled by particular 'spiritualities' which alluringly offer the chance of becoming divine. Any public or academic library with a theological section will find it a rich resource.
