Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book deconstructs the history of the concept of Christian 'subscription' to demonstrate how the practice of subscribing to religious ordinances developed. The author explores how subscription was originally rejected by Martin Luther and other Reformation figures and only later introduced under pressure from political leaders for church unity. They discuss how the practice of subscription deepened over time, and explore the intellectual consistency of such practices in a post-Reformation religious environment. The depth of historical information, and theological arguments included in this book make it an invaluable resource for those interested in a proper understanding of the history of Christian religious conformity.
