Produktinformationen "Philipp of Hesse"
Just five months after Martin Luther published his Ninety-Five Theses, thirteen-year-old Philipp was declared Landgrave of Hesse, ruler of one of the most powerful principalities of the Holy Roman Empire. During his forty- nine-year reign, he proved a divisive leader-he boldly promoted the Reformation but was openly married to two wives at the same time, against the advice of Luther and other theologians. He ruled his land well but ignored sage advice from friends. Some people admired Philipp as a hero. Others despised him as scandalous. However he was viewed, one thing was for sure: God was able to use Philipp's leadership skills to unite the Reformation movement and allow it to grow. This comprehensive look at the life and role of Philipp invites readers to take a deeper look at the intertwining history of the Church, the Reformation, and politics.
