Summary
While most modern approaches to the religious and social reforms of the sixteenth century give scant attention to stellar preoccupations, this study argues that astrological concepts played a key role in preparing the ground for the evangelical movement sparked by Martin Luther in the 1520s, as well as in shaping the distinctive characteristics of German evangelical culture over the following century.
