2. REFORMATION IN THE CITIES

• Steven Ozment, The Reformation in the Cities: The Appeal of Protestantism to Sixteenth-Century Germany and Switzerland (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1975) paperback, $15. The Reformation quickly took root in most of the imperial cities of the Empire. Ozment studies how so many came over to the Protestant side: the mix of polemical preaching, humorous pamphlets, decrees from city magistrates. This provides important perspectives on the Reformation as a grass-roots movement--how the great theological debates fueled and were fueled by popular sentiment
  
  
• Steven Ozment, Protestants: Birth of a Revolution (New York: Doubleday, 1992) paperback, $15. Basically an updating, a recasting, and popularizing of his earlier Reformation in the Cities. It includes some new research on family life.
