Roland Bernhard, Felix Hinz, Robert Maier (eds): Luther und die Reformation in internationalen Geschichtskulturen. Perspektiven für den Geschichtsunterricht

It also shows how formerly socialist countries rediscovered the subject after 1989/1991 and, with two Asian points of view, notes the global dimension of the reception of this topic, which was formerly viewed from a predominantly Western perspective. In this sense, this volume plays its part in enriching history lessons from multiple perspectives.
