Luther used and coined a rich arsenal of battle names and pejorative terms with which he labelled his 'radical' opponents and through which he marked 'deviation' from his own position. Thomas Hahn-Bruckart explores these and other strategies of linguistic inclusion and exclusion to trace how identity and alterity was marked and contoured in the early Wittenberg Reformation.

This handbook brings together both classic and cutting-edge methods for interpreting the New Testament. Chapters on historical-critical, literary, and reader-response approaches showcase the wide methodological range through which the text's original setting and its contemporary significance can be explored.

The speeches, essays and newspaper articles of Marianne Weber (1870-1954) gathered here allow her to step out from her famous husband Max's shadow to reveal a campaigner who fought tirelessly for the education of women and their equal rights and pay during the transition from the German Empire to the Weimar Republic. As this volume amplifies, it is time for her voice to be heard.
