商品簡介
In close readings of selected texts in the different genre of preaching and consolidations, Leroux (speech communications, U. of Minnesota-Morris) explores how Luther (1483-1546) sought to prepare his followers for death. The Protestant leader's views provide a reminder of what people thought and feared about death before the industrial age, he says. Among the texts are Fourteen Consolations, martyrological literature, 1532 funeral sermons, and On Whether One May Flee from a Deadly Plague.
