Wondrous in His Saints: Counter-Reformation Propaganda in Bavaria: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Wondrous in His Saints: Counter-Reformation Propaganda in Bavaria" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

At the close of the sixteenth century, despite Protestant attempts to discourage popular devotion to saints and shrines, the Roman Church in Bavaria initiated a propagandistic campaign through the publishing of pilgrimage books and pamphlets. Philip Soergels cogent exploration of this little-known pilgrimage literature yields a vivid portrait of religion before, during, and after the Reformation and Counter-Reformation.These advertisements, combining testimonies of miracles with fantastic legends about shrines, fueled the conflict between Catholics and Protestants and helped shape a distinctive Catholic historical consciousness. Soergel stresses the power of the printed word as a defense of traditional authority, testing other historians assertions about the neglect of printing and literacy in the Counter-Reformation.

Darumb schreibt David nit vergebenlich Gott ist
wunderbarlich in seinen heiligen: Wunderlich
ist der Herr in den Hochen. Der Gott Israel wil
seinem Volck krafft und starck geben.
So it is not without reason that David writes,
"God is wondrous in His Saints. Wondrous is
the Lord in his mighty ones. The God of Israel
will give his people power and strength."
