Places of the Reformation

History happens in time and in places. What places were affected or had an effect on the Reformation? What was the geopolitical landscape like at the time of the Reformation?

This book will feature articles looking at the places of note in the Reformation. Not only do they look at the role the place had in Reformation history but the place’s history as well, and sometimes its effect on modern times.

Come along with me on a journey to Germany as we explore "Lutherland" and maybe—just maybe—we can hear history whisper to us about distant events and giant people long gone.

And maybe you might just want to take a pilgrimage to these sites yourself.

Unless otherwise noted, information for these articles was gleaned from Luther and His Times: The Reformation from a New Perspective by Ernest G. Schwiebert (Concordia Publishing House; May 1, 1950; ISBN: 0570032466).
