Andrew Pettegree, of Scotland's University of St. Andrews, discusses his recent publication "The Book at War" with host Jim Fausone. They cover the printed word for encouraging a nation to go to and stay at war, the value of books to the troops, the rationale for book burning, and related topics in a thought provoking interview.

In this episode, Professor Andrew Pettegree joins Cole to discuss his newly released title, "The Book at War." The book is a captivating analysis of the power of print in society and conflicts throughout history. At the heart of this literary work is the paradox of words during wartime. The notion that books are weapons in the war of ideas is tested in this account on how the written word leaves a lasting impact on the fabric of societies.

Did you know that Stalin, Hitler and Mao were voracious readers? Where did the paper book pocket book come from?  Join me in this conversation with renowned historian Andrew Pettegree, as we discuss his latest  The Book at War, How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading.  We discuss the fascinating and often overlooked role of books in warfare, exploring how reading shapes conflict and how conflict, in turn, shapes reading. Professor  Pettegree reveals that books are not just hapless victims of destruction in wars but powerful tools for war making, as they can motivate populations and fuel ideologies that lead to wars. The conversation highlights historical examples, such as the destruction of libraries during World War II and the weaponization of book culture by dictatorships like Nazi Germany and Russia. Furthermore, we explore how books have influenced major conflicts, including the American Civil War and both World Wars. Overall, this episode sheds light on the enduring power of books and how they continue to play a significant role in the development and battle of ideas in society. The Book at War, How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading is published by Basic Books

Books are often seen as “victims” of combat. When the flames of warfare turn libraries to ashes, we grieve this loss as an immense human and cultural tragedy. But that's not the complete picture. Books were used in war across the twentieth century—both as agents for peace and as weapons. On one hand, books represent solace and solidarity for troops and prisoners of war desperate for reading materials. On the other hand, books have also been engines of warfare, mobilizing troops, spreading ideologies, and disseminating scientific innovation. With accounts that span from ancient Rome to the Cold War, from Uncle Tom's Cabin to Mao's Little Red Book, Pettegree demonstrates how books have shaped societies at war—for both good and ill.Today's guest is Andrew Pettegree, author of “The Book at War: How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading.” We explore the weaponization of the publishing industry, the mechanics of mass-scale censorship, and why the Soviets Hated Ian Fleming.

This episode we examine the intersection of books and war as we sit down with esteemed historian Andrew Pettegree. We discuss his groundbreaking work, 'THE BOOK AT WAR: How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading,'Pettegree challenges the notion that books and warfare exist in separate realms. Instead, he explores their intricate relationship throughout history, revealing the profound impact of words on the battlefield.From providing solace to troops during World War II to acting as agents of warfare, books play a multifaceted role in shaping societies during times of conflict.Our guest, Andrew Pettegree, a distinguished professor of modern history at the University of St. Andrews, brings his expertise to unravel the complex and often ambivalent dynamics between books and war.Remember to subscribe, rate, and review Eyewitness History.Follow the Show on Social Media!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EyewitnessHistoryTwitter: https://twitter.com/EyewitnessPodThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5351305/advertisement

The evidence is clear: Henry David Thoreau was an industrious person who worked hard throughout his life. And yet, he's often viewed as a kind of dreamy layabout who dropped out of society so he could sit by his pond and think his thoughts. Can we reconcile these two figures? What did work mean to Thoreau? And what advice did he have for the rest of us? In this episode, Jacke talks to Thoreau scholar Jonathan van Belle about the new book he's co-authored, Henry at Work: Thoreau on Making a Living.

Andrew Pettegree is a professor of modern history at the University of St. Andrews. He talks with Matt about his latest book, The Book at War: How Reading Shaped Conflict and Conflict Shaped Reading.

Throughout time, both authors and their readers have gone to war. In that process, the written word has become a deadly weapon and a glimmer of peace and hope – from the furious printing efforts behind publishing //Mein Kampf// to the daring exploits of James Bond. Speaking to Emily Briffett, Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising, and sometimes sinister, ways in which the written word has shaped, and been shaped, by the conflicts of last few centuries.

Chairman Mao was a librarian. Stalin was a published poet. Evelyn Waugh served as a commando - before leaving to write Brideshead Revisited. Since the advent of modern warfare, books have all too often found themselves on the frontline. In The Book At War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict (Basic Books, 2023), acclaimed historian Dr. Andrew Pettegree traces the surprising ways in which written culture - from travel guides and scientific papers to Biggles and Anne Frank - has shaped, and been shaped, by the conflicts of the modern age. From the American Civil War to the invasion of Ukraine, books, authors and readers have gone to war - and in the process become both deadly weapons and our most persuasive arguments for peace. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

If you are reading this, it's probably hard—nearly impossible—to imagine a world without writing—without print, books, newspapers, signs, graffiti, advertisements, forms, letters, texts, internet memes, and New Books Network blogposts like this one. How would you do your work? How would you communicate with your friends and family? How would you learn about the world around you? The historians in this conversation have written path-breaking books that deepen our understanding of an age when the written word was still emerging as a feature in everyday life. These books focus on different places—Russia and the Netherlands—where writing and print emerged quite differently but they share a deep erudition and ambitious methodological creativity in endeavoring to account for the ephemeral. Simon Franklin is emeritus professor of Russian history at University of Cambridge, Clare College. His books include Writing Society and Culture in Early Rus, 950–1300 (2002), The Emergence of Rus, 750–1200 (1996), co-authored with Jonathan Shepard, and Information and Empire: mechanisms of Communication in Russia, 1600–1850 (2017), co-edited with Katherine Bowers. In The Russian Graphosphere, 1450–1850 (Cambridge UP, 2019) Franklin reconstructs with deep erudition and carefully contextualized sleuthing the concrete and conceptual ways in which people in Russia from the mid-sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries encountered various types of writing. Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen are historians at University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Pettegree's books include The Invention of News (2014), Brand Luther: 1517, printing and the making of the Reformation (2015), and most recently, The Book at War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict (2023). Arthur der Weduwen followed up his award-winning first monograph, Dutch and Flemish Newspapers of the Seventeenth Century with the newly released State Communication and Public Politics in the Dutch Golden Age (2023). As has Simon Franklin, they have brought great creativity to the history of texts. Known for its now world-famous still life paintings produced by the affluent incubator of capitalism that was the seventeenth-century Netherlands, Bookshop of the World: Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age (Yale UP, 2020) shows us that what was going onto the canvases in the Dutch Golden Age paled in comparison to what was coming off the printing presses. With many unexpected revelations, this ambitious attempt to account for the (perhaps?) countless texts that did not survive demonstrates how the production, distribution, and consumption of books was central to economic, political, and cultural life in seventeenth-century Netherlands. They continue to collaborate on the Universal Short Title Catalogue and have also co-authored The Library: A Fragile History (2021).

If you are reading this, it's probably hard—nearly impossible—to imagine a world without writing—without print, books, newspapers, signs, graffiti, advertisements, forms, letters, texts, internet memes, and New Books Network blogposts like this one. How would you do your work? How would you communicate with your friends and family? How would you learn about the world around you? The historians in this conversation have written path-breaking books that deepen our understanding of an age when the written word was still emerging as a feature in everyday life. These books focus on different places—Russia and the Netherlands—where writing and print emerged quite differently but they share a deep erudition and ambitious methodological creativity in endeavoring to account for the ephemeral. Simon Franklin is emeritus professor of Russian history at University of Cambridge, Clare College. His books include Writing Society and Culture in Early Rus, 950–1300 (2002), The Emergence of Rus, 750–1200 (1996), co-authored with Jonathan Shepard, and Information and Empire: mechanisms of Communication in Russia, 1600–1850 (2017), co-edited with Katherine Bowers. In The Russian Graphosphere, 1450–1850 (Cambridge UP, 2019) Franklin reconstructs with deep erudition and carefully contextualized sleuthing the concrete and conceptual ways in which people in Russia from the mid-sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries encountered various types of writing. Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen are historians at University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Pettegree's books include The Invention of News (2014), Brand Luther: 1517, printing and the making of the Reformation (2015), and most recently, The Book at War: Libraries and Readers in an Age of Conflict (2023). Arthur der Weduwen followed up his award-winning first monograph, Dutch and Flemish Newspapers of the Seventeenth Century with the newly released State Communication and Public Politics in the Dutch Golden Age (2023). As has Simon Franklin, they have brought great creativity to the history of texts. Known for its now world-famous still life paintings produced by the affluent incubator of capitalism that was the seventeenth-century Netherlands, Bookshop of the World: Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age (Yale UP, 2020) shows us that what was going onto the canvases in the Dutch Golden Age paled in comparison to what was coming off the printing presses.

Libraries are historically the greatest transmitters of knowledge and culture for any civilization. From the appearance of the very first collection of manuscripts to the building of the greatest temples of books, libraries have risen – and invariably fallen – through the ages and throughout time, they've played many different roles and fulfilled a variety of functions, and continue to evolve as we speak.  What is the history of libraries, what is their role and how has that been changing? This is what my two guests today have written about. Professor Andrew Pettegree is a historian at Saint Andrews University where he specializes in the history of the book and media transformations, and Dr. Arthur der Weduwen is a Postdoctoral Fellow also at Saint Andrews University in Scotland. They co-wrote in 2021 an engaging and deeply researched book called “The Library: A Fragile History” where they investigate this institution throughout different eras and countries to reveal that libraries didn't always look like the ones we think about today, and also that they're a lot more fragile than we think. Here is a quick recap of the books mentioned throughout the episode: The Book At War, by Andrew Pettegree, published in 2023, which explores the role that books have played in conflicts. What is their favourite book that I've never heard of? Andrew: “Thurn und Taxis”, by Wolfgang Behringer (1990) Arthur: “The Forgotten Soldier”, by Guy Sajer (1965) What is the best book that they've read in the last 12 months? Andrew: “State Communications and Public Politics in the Dutch Golden Age” by Arthur der Weduwen (2023) and “The Bookseller of Inverness” by SG Maclean (2022) Arthur: “The Gates of Europe, a history of Ukraine”, by Serhii Plokhy (2015) What book disappointed them in the last 12 months? Arthur: “To Have and Have Not”, by Ernest Hemingway (1937) What book would they take to a desert island? Andrew: War and Peace, by Leo Tolstoy (1867) Arthur: Scoop, by Evelyn Waugh (1938) What book changed their mind? Andrew: “Thurn und Taxis” by Wolfgang Behringer (1990) Arthur: “Double Fold” by Nicholson Baker (2001) Find Andrew: Twitter: https://twitter.com/apettegree?lang=en Follow me ⁠@litwithcharles⁠ for more book reviews and recommendations!

In this interview, I'll be talking with Prof. Andrew Pettegree who co-authored The Library: A Fragile History with Arthur Der Weduwen. What I first thought was a self-explanatory symbol of scholarly righteousness I soon learned was an icon of the individual against the institution, a battleground of the “enlightened” elite and the “plebian” people, and a habitual testament of man's inborn desire to affect the world. And, these are just a few of the themes. Like all histories, the story of the library reveals not only the technologies and techniques that have brought us to our modern understanding of book collecting but also the human vices and virtues that have powered this progression.But, one question looms - do we still need public libraries in a digital world?Topics:Origin of public librariesPreservation of classicsHistory of censorship in the libraryHave public libraries really affected society?The future of libraries in an online worldA bibliophile's guide to organizing a libraryWhat books have had an impact on you?What advice do you have for teenagers?Andrew Pettegree, FBA is Professor of Modern History at the University of St Andrews and Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue (an online bibliography of all books published in the first two centuries after the invention of print). He is the author of fifteen books in the fields of Reformation history and the history of communication including Reformation and the Culture of Persuasion (Cambridge University Press, 2005), The Book in the Renaissance (Yale University Press, 2010), The Invention of News (Yale University Press, 2014), Brand Luther (Penguin, 2015), The Bookshop of the World. Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age (Yale University Press, 2019) and The Library: A Fragile History, co-authored with Arthur der Weduwen, was published by Profile in 2021.Socials! -Lessons from Interesting People substack: https://taylorbledsoe.substack.com/Website: https://www.aimingforthemoon.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aiming4moon/Twitter: https://twitter.com/Aiming4MoonFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/aiming4moonTaylor's Blog: https://www.taylorgbledsoe.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6 

本期节目从一本新书谈起。英国历史学家安德鲁·佩蒂格里（Andrew Pettegree）在《新闻的发明》中提出，“人类想获取信息、想知道内情的欲望，与人类社会本身一样古老久远。人们总是会不遗余力地去发现新闻。”本书追踪了15世纪到19世纪多个欧洲国家的新闻史，分析印刷术的大规模普及如何催生了小册子、期刊和最早的新闻纸，继而逐渐形成了现代社会必不可缺的一个组成部分——新闻业。本期嘉宾张力奋是改革开放以来从中国走向世界的杰出媒体人，也是我在新闻系的授业恩师，我受张老师影响很深，不仅因为他的职业生涯波澜壮阔，行业观察一针见血，更受益于他的理想气质和专业精神，和那幽默克制的表达风格。今年也是《申报》创刊150周年，我与张力奋老师隔空连线，地点选在了申报馆别有深意，1872年4月30日正是在这里，这份近代中国发行时间最久、具有广泛社会影响力的报纸诞生了，它标志着中国近代新闻史的开端。张老师带我们回顾了那个风起云涌的时代，民族企业家史量才如何带领《申报》成长为一份世界一流的全国大报。在张力奋看来，新闻的产生是人类社会进化必然会出现的事件，因为人对未知世界的好奇是一种与生俱来的本能。人类学家在全球各地的研究发现，原始部落之间传递消息，在挑选信使时往往遵循两个标准：一是身体素质好，行动迅速；二是风评信誉好，不会胡乱编造消息。它们至今都是优质新闻的标准：时效性和准确性。而我们对原始部落信息流通的认识也揭示了人类社会的一条重要原则——“任何正常社会必须要有正常的信息流通，人对信息的正常需求是天经地义的。”张力奋认为，从这一角度理解人对信息的需求的话，我们可以发现，人的现代化过程某种意义上来说也是人的信息现代化过程。在一个运转良好的社会中，记者这种类似公器的职业一定要由拥有强烈社会责任感的精英来担任。一个社会如果没有记者，没有新闻业，这个社会就成为一个不完备的社会，它的运行成本就会变得非常高，其实这不是一个理想主义或非理想主义的问题，而是一个非常现实主义的考量。【嘉宾】张力奋复旦大学新闻学院教授，曾任《金融时报》副主编、FT中文网创始总编辑曹柠记者，毕业于复旦大学新闻学院【你可能会听到】0:02:21《申报》与近代中国新闻业的发展0:05:35越过技术神话，人对信息的需求亘古有之0:08:39从1818年的伦敦公报“窥探”英国新兴中产阶级生活0:11:04为什么要看原件？0:13:38媒体是个长期生意，想赚快钱往往失败0:16:16民国报业的福利政策0:17:30新闻的发明即公众力量的发明0:20:02印刷文明塑造了现代国家的今日模样0:21:56从铅字崇拜到流量崇拜0:24:06新媒体99%内容是“垃圾”0:26:39中国媒体的发展为什么乏善可陈0:27:49新闻是公器，记者不是民工0:30:50专业主义来自耳濡目染0:34:16社交媒体要为极化负责吗0:36:07老牌媒体依然冲在媒体变革的前沿0:39:51《新闻的发明》：世界是如何认识自己的？【提到的书】《新闻的发明》安德鲁·佩蒂格里【音乐】《新闻女郎》 - 梁汉文

Perfect for book lovers, this is a fascinating exploration of the history of libraries and the people who built them, from the ancient world to the digital age. Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes, or filled with bean bags and children's drawings—the history of the library is rich, varied, and stuffed full of incident. In The Library, historians Arthur der Weduwen and Andrew Pettegree introduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great collections, trace the rise and fall of literary tastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanors committed in pursuit of rare manuscripts. In doing so, they reveal that while collections themselves are fragile, often falling into ruin within a few decades, the idea of the library has been remarkably resilient as each generation makes—and remakes—the institution anew. Beautifully written and deeply researched, The Library is essential reading for booklovers, collectors, and anyone who has ever gotten blissfully lost in the stacks. Martin's interview with Arthur der Weduwen was recorded on February 15th, 2022.

Of all the accomplishments of human civilisation, the creation of libraries, making the preservation and transmission of knowledge possible, is surely the greatest. In this episode the academics Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen take us back to 1850, a pivotal moment in the history of public libraries.  Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen's new book, The Library, A Fragile History, takes on the ‘long and tumultuous history' of these noble institutions, from the clay tablets of ancient Nineveh to the problematic Google Books project (inspired, like so many other attempts to ‘encompass the world's knowledge', by the library of Alexandria). This is an unflinching look at library history, one that does not shy away from the neglect, the destruction and the moments when knowledge was lost. Show Notes Scene One: London, The House of Commons. The debate surrounding the Public Libraries Act is in full swing, giving us the chance to understand what this act meant to the development of libraries, and why it failed to gain so little support outside Parliament.  Scene Two: Bordeaux, France. The great municipal library of Bordeaux, one of the finest public collections in France, and one of many similar Bibliotheques municipales. Although France had a system of public libraries that were, on paper, the envy of the world (due to the size and reputation of their collections), in reality they were tombs of books: rarely used, badly funded and frequently looted.  Scene Three: New York, USA. The famous public library building was still decades in the future, but New York had a highly diverse system of different libraries, for different publics, that explain why a great central collection was so long in the making.  Mementos: Arthur, One of the books stolen by Count Libri that went missing in the mists of time in order to return it to its rightful bibliothèque municipale. Andrew, mid 19th century ‘triple-decker' edition of The History of Pendennis by William Makepeace Thackeray.

Famed across the known world, jealously guarded by private collectors, built up over centuries, destroyed in a single day, ornamented with gold leaf and frescoes, or filled with bean bags and children's drawings--the history of the library is rich, varied, and stuffed full of incident. In The Library: A Rich and Fragile History (Basic Books, 2021), historians Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen introduce us to the antiquarians and philanthropists who shaped the world's great collections, trace the rise and fall of literary tastes, and reveal the high crimes and misdemeanors committed in pursuit of rare manuscripts. In doing so, they reveal that while collections themselves are fragile, often falling into ruin within a few decades, the idea of the library has been remarkably resilient as each generation makes--and remakes--the institution anew. Beautifully written and deeply researched, The Library is essential reading for booklovers, collectors, and anyone who has ever gotten blissfully lost in the stacks.

The rise of the printing press created a precursor to the modern day newspaper, where printed publications like broadsides and pamphlets served to communicate ideas, updates, and notices about new laws, the progress of wars abroad, and even comic stories, true crime tales, and anecdotes. People who deliver letters are referred to in Shakespeare's plays the “post” and letters are often referred to as “news” with Shakespeare using the word “news” an astonishing 326 times across his works. There's obviously an overlap between messengers, oral tradition, news, and letters for Shakespeare's lifetime, but what exactly was the importance of written communication and what should we understand about the system of letter delivery and communication when we see characters named only “messenger” Or “post” appear on Shakespeare's stage? Did Shakespeare have things like envelopes, stamps, or even a postal address? Here today to take us back to the 16th and early 17th century to explore the role of letters and communication systems in Shakespeare's lifetime is our guest and author of The Invention of News: How the World Came to Know About Itself, Dr. Andrew Pettegree.

After a turbulent political revolt against the military superpower of the early modern world, the tiny Dutch Republic managed to situate itself as the dominant printing and book trading power of the European market. The so-called Dutch Golden Age has long captured the attention of art historians, but for every one painting produced by the Dutch during the seventeenth century, at least 100 books were printed. In The Bookshop of the World: Making and Trading Books in the Dutch Golden Age (Yale UP, 2019), Andrew Pettegree and Arthur der Weduwen present the untold story of how a group of family-owned businesses transformed the economics of printing and selling and conquered the European communications economy. This printing revolution helped to turn their pluralistic population into a highly literate and engaged society.  Andrew Pettegree (@APettegree) is Professor of Modern History at the University of St Andrews and Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue. He is the author of over a dozen books in the fields of Reformation history and the history of communication including Reformation and the Culture of Persuasion (Cambridge University Press, 2005), The Book in the Renaissance (Yale University Press, 2010), The Invention of News (Yale University Press, 2014), and Brand Luther: 1517, Print and the Making of the Reformation (Penguin, 2015).  Arthur der Weduwen (@A_der_Weduwen) is a British Academy Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews and Deputy Director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue. He researches and writes on the history of the Dutch Republic, books, news, libraries and early modern politics. He is the author of Dutch and Flemish Newspapers of the Seventeenth Century (2 vols., Brill, 2017), and two books on early newspaper advertising in the Netherlands (both Brill, 2020).

After a turbulent political revolt against the military superpower of the early modern world, the tiny Dutch Republic managed to situate itself as the dominant printing and book trading power of the European market. The so-called Dutch Golden Age has long captured the attention of art historians, but for every one painting produced by the Dutch during the seventeenth century, at least 100 books were printed.

This week our EQUIP class Church History Essentials dove into the Reformation with a survey of Martin Luther's life and works as well as some other key figures from this period. Whereas the church had found itself caught in mysticism and works-based salvation up until this point, the Reformation brought about a "Return to Redeeming Faith." Guest Speaker: Alice Perry Book Recommendation: Brand Luther by Andrew Pettegree

In this episode we sit down with historian Bryan Kozik, PhD to talk about his work on Reformation era Central Europe and how he is shifting the conversation in his field. With a focus on bishops and changes happening at the local level, he gives us a better sense of this momentous epoch in world history. His fresh perspective shows how we can start to better understand the changing definitions of Europe and how religion should remain a key factor when assessing history. Bryan Kozik's reading suggestions: For a terrific, accessible illustration of the heterogeneity of pre-Reformation Western Christianity:Richard Wunderli, Peasant Fires: The Drummer of Niklashausen (1992)For scholarly but accessible surveys to the Reformations era:Diarmaid MacCulloch, The Reformation: A History (2005)Carlos Eire, Reformations: The Early Modern World, 1450-1650 (2016)For introductions to more varied, specialized topics in Reformations history:Andrew Pettegree, ed.

In this podcast, you're going to learn three advanced tips for prepping your church's services. I'll show you how my church prepares for Sunday each and every week, and by the end of this episode, you'll know exactly how to implement these tips in your church as well.   ***VISIT THE FULL POST HERE: https://prochurchtools.com/how-the-internet-is-provoking-the-next-christian-reformation/   What's In This Session? What role does/will the Internet have in reforming the church? (1:50) The story of Martin Luther is that he nailed his 95 theses to a door and thus began the Protestant Reformation (2:15) How can an unpublished, obscure Roman Catholic monk move from the shadows to the world stage in a matter of years? (2:27) Brand Luther by Andrew Pettegree (3:15) Luther quickly learned how to use printed books and pamphlets to spread his views widely and effectively. He obsessed not just about the words he wrote but about the timing, accuracy, visual appeal, and effective distribution of these printed works. Second, by writing in plain German, rather than in Latin, he increased his potential audience many times over (3:40) Bottom line: Martin Luther's theological revolution would have gone nowhere without the power of the printing press. Attention is the most valuable commodity - Luther was brilliant, but without attention - it wouldn’t have mattered (6:28) For years, the church had gatekeepers that you couldn’t get past - but a technological revolution removed those barriers almost instantly. Do you see a parallel? (7:37) The Internet is the next great communication shift - and removal of gatekeepers - and my prediction is that it will lead to reformation again (8:50) Jen and Mike experienced massive theological shifts because in their mid-forties they moved to a new culture (11:03) The internet basically shares anyone and everyone's theology (13:05) Eschatology, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, women in leadership, white privilege and the oppression of minorities, nationalism being passed off as Christian doctrine, and more (15:02) “Change is perceived as compromise" (18:03) I just don’t think we’re gonna get to Heaven and hear: Baptists to the left, Pentecostals to the right, Methodists down that way, Non-Denominationals over this way, etc. We’ll be there worshipping Jesus TOGETHER. Imagine how awesome it’d be if we were willing to do that now (22:35) Matthew 22: The Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested Jesus with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself. All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” (24:37) Unity isn’t uniformity (25:44)  Show Notes & Resources Mentioned: Jason Robinson on Twitter Pro Church Tools Pro Church Tools on Facebook Pro Church Tools on YouTube Brady Shearer on Instagram Brady Shearer on Twitter Alex Mills on Instagram

In this Wingin' It, Wade reviews Andrew Pettegree's, Brand Luther. (Or, if you're looking for the full title: Brand Luther: How an Unheralded Monk Turned His Small Town into a Center of Publishing, Made Himself the Most Famous Man in Europe--and Started the Protestant Reformation.) Wade recorded this a few weeks ago (which you'll notice, especially if you're a regular listener to the podcast), but you'll still appreciate his discussion of Brand Luther. This is the book that Wade would recommend for the reader looking to find a fresh take on Luther and the Reformation. In fact, if you find yourself taking a class from him at the college, he may require you pick up a copy. We hope you enjoy this Wingin' It. If you're digging the podcast, we'd be thrilled if you'd share it with your friends, subscribe, rate, and review us on iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play, or TuneIn Radio. Thanks for listening!

Speaker: Andrew Pettegree Long before journalism had a name, Europe had a fully operative commercial news market, and newsmen had their own strongly felt code of ethics. In this paper Andrew Pettegree charts the emergence of journalism as a professional craft, from the earliest regular news serials, the birth of the newspapers, and the growth of party politics, through to the mass media of the modern age. He asks what lessons history has to offer to a craft under pressure from bewilderingly rapid changes of media platforms and the proliferation of new media outlets. This lecture is supported by the Library of the Royal Irish Academy, Marsh's Library and the Irish Research Council-funded ‘Mapping readers and readership in Dublin: 1826-1926: a new cultural geography' (UCD Schools of History and Computer Science: http://marshreaders.ucd.ie/people/ ) Professor Pettegree charts the emergence of journalism as a professional craft, from the earliest regular news serials, the birth of the newspapers, and the growth of party politics, through to the mass media of the modern age.

The post Brand Reformation: A Conversation about Martin Luther with Historian Andrew Pettegree appeared first on AlbertMohler.com.

Martin Luther did more than just serve as a catalyst for the Reformation. By nailing his 95 theses to the door of a Wittenberg, Germany, church in 1517, he became the world's first mass media figure and launched a new form of theological writing, argues University of St. Andrews Professor Andrew Pettegree. Andrew Pettegree is Professor Modern History at the University of St Andrews, and director of the Universal Short Title Catalogue. He is the author of a number of books on the Reformation and, more recently, the history of communication, including Reformation and the Culture of Communication, The Book in the Renaissance, and The Invention of News. In 2015, The Invention of News won the Goldsmith Prize of the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
