Recensioner i media

'a fascinating study ... Kurihara creates a narrative that will be of interest to scholars of the Reformation, early modern studies, historians of religion, and scholars of theology, as well as the history of science. The case studies that are highlighted are meaningful and well chosen and the book is researched to the highest academic standard.' Parergon 'Carefully researched, lucidly written, and logically structured, Celestial Wonders is a solid contribution to the field of the German Reformation.' German Quarterly 'Kurihara's work is wondrous for its deep research and thoughtful integration of Protestant theology and piety with popular beliefs in celestial marvels and apocalyptic imagery. Historians will find this book a treasure trove of new research possibilities.' David Myers, Fordham University
