- Title
Die Reformation und das Problem des religiösen Entscheidens.
- Authors
Pohlig, Matthias
- Abstract
With the Reformation, according to a common understanding, arose the possibility for religious choice. This article argues that the early Reformation created a field for experimentation, with the ensuing disputes being over who could and should exercise religious choice. My sketch of this field of experimentation also serves as an introduction to this Archive for Reformation History Focal Point. The Reformation created new religious options, but new problems also arose with regard to individual and collective decision-making about religion, for example, the problem of semantic and practical framing of situations which provided opportunities for choice and the question of actors and procedures for religious decisions.
