Abstract

In 1962, the German Reformation historian Bernd Moeller published his Reichsstadt und Reformation, bringing about a major revitalization of historical interest in the German urban Reformation. Moeller's book sought to disengage the historiography of the Reformation from theological controversy by pointing, in the tradition of Max Weber, to the intersection of Reformation theology with the urban socio-political milieu.
