Cultural, historical and textual analysis of 300 propaganda pamphlets written by 166 German laymen and women reveals that each social class heard the Reformation message differently. The writers enthusiastically interpreted the Bible for themselves, finding justification for social and economic changes which suited the aims of their own class. The new ideology deepened the existing divisions in rural and urban society. The book presents, for the first time, a comprehensive selection of 166 lay authors.
Knights, rural civil servants, technicians, patricians, lawyers and artisans describe the existing social order, their new beliefs and their hopes for change. They are eloquent and immensely human.

Conflicting Visions of Reform
As the Crusades is one of my interest areas, I found this book very interesting for the most part. Housley explains the different ideas about how to define the crusade movement, what motivated people to go and how the crusades had a lasting impact beyond the battlefields.
For those interested as much in the study of the crusades as the crusades themselves, this is a worthwhile book. If you don't want to read about how historians approach the crusade period, this might not be the book for you. If you find historiography interesting or find yourself working on a medieval MA like I am, then this is a book for you.
