  • Piety and Conflict in the Early Reformation

    Andrew Gow, Andrew Colin Gow et al.ARTICLERenaissance and Reformation2018

    B y an unspoken consensus based, one suspects, on centuries of myth- based commemorations, 2017 will be celebrated as the five-hundredth anniversary not merely of Luther's ninety-five theses but of the Reformation as a whole. 1 Leaving aside the now hoary and largely settled debates about whether or not Luther ever actually posted any theses on the door of the castle church at Wittenberg on 31 October 1517, or if he did, what he meant to accompli…

  • Christianity

    Andrew Gow, Andrew Colin GowARTICLEMethod & Theory in the Study of…2018References: 1

    Anidjar’s Blood can be read, with Amy Hollywood, as a political intervention designed to alienate and creatively reuse the familiar terms ‘blood’ and ‘Christianity’ to mean quite different things, namely a set of biologically, emotionally, and politically charged metaphors circulating within and fuelling a hegemonic cultural world system. While this is a clear possible reading throughout, Anidjar provides an explicit key to justify these meanings…

  • Richard Landes. Heaven on Earth

    Andrew Gow, Andrew Colin GowARTICLEThe American Historical Review2012

    This is an immense and wide-ranging book (a “craggy edifice,” as Garry Trompf rightly notes in his blurb for the back cover); all attempts to review it must fail in view of its breadth, diversity, and ambition. Richard Landes's first “law of apocalyptic dynamics” is “Wrong does not mean inconsequential”; the second is “One person's messiah is another's antichrist.” The first “law” is in fact not a universal law, but a powerful historiographic pro…

    Open AccessAndrew Colin GowARTICLEZwingliana2010

    Andrew Pettegree has collected in this volume a series of expert articles on the Reformation outside the German-speaking lands in the thirty years following Luther's initial protest.As Pettegree points out in his preface, there has been very little specialized, scholarship published in English on the early Reformation movement in places like Moravia or Denmark.Given the context of European unification and disunity, such work is essential if Briti…

  • Teaching Method and Theory to History Undergraduates. Intellectual Challenges and Professional Responsibilities

    Open AccessAndrew Colin GowARTICLEHistory Compass2010References: 2

    This article seeks to demonstrate why university instructors should make greater efforts to teach our undergraduates about historical methods and the challenges to traditional ways of doing history posed by important recent theoretical approaches and critiques. The stakes are high because liberal progressivist narratives of historical progress are inadequate for the professional study of history, though very powerful for legitimating the politica…

  • Hyphenated Histories

    Andrew Colin GowEDITORBOOKHyphenated Histories2007

    Art history, literary history, film history, social history, micro-history, economic history, women’s history, postcolonial history and other hyphenated histories have introduced elements of discontinuity, rupture and plurality into hegemonic historical narratives by initiating interdisciplinary encounters that have not only redefined and rewritten debates over the terrain of the past, but have shared a common problematic with, and thus have left…

    Richard Landes, Andrew Gow et al.BOOKThe apocalyptic year 10002003

    The essays in this volume challenge prevailing views on the way in which apocalyptic concerns contributed to larger processes of social change at the first millennium. They should provoke new interest in and debate on the nature and causes of social change in early medieval Europe.

    Offered here for the first time, a wide variety of specialists explore continuity and change in pre-modern Europe. Collectively, they contribute to the current historiographical debates about continuity and discontinuity between the Middle Ages and the Early Modern era. The themes reflect eminent scholar Heiko A. Oberman’s vast range of interests in religious, cultural and political history across a broad chronological and conceptual spectrum tha…

    Gog and Magog, the apocalyptic destroyers prophesied in the book of Revelations, gave concrete expression to the apocalyptic climate that dominated medieval thinking about the future-and the present. They permeated medieval texts and appeared in most maps of the world. Historians are coming to understand medieval and early modern world maps not primarily as rather primitive technical tools but as cultural documents. Such maps expressed in graphic…
