2012 Town and Gown Lecture featuring Thomas A. Brady, Jr. - What the Reformation was — what were its causes and consequences, its messages and its implications for modern history and culture — is for historians a contentious subject today. Was it an extension of the Middle Ages? The birth of the modern age? A few centuries of strife, persecution, and sometimes war? A rebirth of original Christianity? Something that still lives or something now lost? This lecture addresses the subject of the Reformation/reformations of Western Christianity lost and found since the days of Martin Luther. It places the theme of reformations lost and found in three contexts: the history of Germany, land of its birth; the history of Europe; and today’s reality of global Christianity.
