Catholic or Protestant in the Reformation
A simple choice?

During the Reformation people had to choose between the Protestant and Catholic faith - or so the popular narrative goes. But is it really that simple? GHIL Deputy Director Michael Schaich and podcast host Kim König are joined by Matthias Pohlig, Professor of Early Modern European History at Humboldt University of Berlin, to discuss the research behind his GHIL Lecture on ‘Religious Decision-Making in the Early German Reformation’.

Don’t miss Matthias Pohlig's accompanying GHIL Lecture “Religious Decision-Making in the Reformation”.
