The Peace of Augsburg and the Meckhart Confession

Taking the religiously diverse city of Augsburg as its focus, this book explores the underappreciated role of local clergy in mediating and interpreting the Peace of Augsburg in the decades following its 1555 enactment, focusing on the efforts of the preacher Johann Meckhart and his heirs in blunting the cultural impact of confessional religion. It argues that the real drama of confessionalization was not simply that which played out between princes and theologians, or even, for that matter, between religions; rather, it lay in the daily struggle of clerics in the proverbial trenches of their ministry, who were increasingly pressured to choose for themselves and for their congregations between doctrinal purity and civil peace.

Adam Glen Hough is a graduate of the University of Arizonas Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies, and a past fellow at the Herzog August Bibliothek and the University of Victorias Centre for Studies in Religion and Society.

Many and wonderful were the people and institutions who helped me over the last few years to first write and edit my doctoral dissertation, and subsequently to transform and refine that work into the book you have before you today. Allow me to begin by thanking everyone at the University of Arizonas Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies, whose tireless fundraising efforts funded no less than six months of my archival research, principally through the Ora DeConcini Martin and Morris Martin Scholarship. To Susan Karant-Nunn, Luise Betterton, and Ute Lotz-Heumann, I say a heartfelt thank you in this regard! I would also double my thanks to Luise for helping me find my way through the arcane, labrynthine bureaucracy that was the bane of this international student for some six years. Your guidance, Luise, helped me focus on the big things without getting weighted down by the small.

Much of the first stage of my research was conducted over three months at the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbttel, study that was made possible thanks to that institutions Rolf und Ursula Schneider-Stiftung. Not only was I given a monthly stipend and a place to stay, but the library even went further, helping fly me to Germany in the first place. Beyond this most generous financial support, though, I would also like to extend my thanks to Dr. Jill Bepler, Dr. Elizabeth Harding, and Gerlinde Strau for their extraordinary patience and encouragement as I found my feet as a researcher in that strange and beautiful land of theirs.
