前言
Dramatic events in the contemporary worldwars, revolutions, terroristattacks, catastrophic natural disasters, economic crises and the endless stream of dailynews often obscure the long historical processes that have created the societies in whichwe live and the problems with which we cope. The mass media pay little attention to thebroader historical patterns and contexts that give deeper meaning to the swiftly movingevents of our era. This new edition of A History of the Modern Worm may be seen as themost recent version of a continuing search for historical perspectives on the complex,often bewildering, events of our age. It thus carries a guiding assumption that the events,cultures, and conflicts of the contemporary world are always evolving out of the long,complex histories of diverse peoples, ideas, institutions, social mores, economicexchanges, and struggles for political power.These multiple levels of human history have created modem societies and exertedwide influence on people and cultures around the world. This book therefore describes thehistories of specific nations and people and emphasizes landmark events such as wars andrevolutions, but it also stresses broad historical trends that have developed deep below themost prominent historical events and created what we now call "the modem world." Ournarrative explores the rise of nation-states and the conflicts that have shaped the worldover the last several centuries, yet it links such transitions and events to the wider histori-cal influence of the evolving global economy; the development of science and technology,the rise of industry, the significance of religious traditions, the origin and diffusion of newideas, the changing mores of family and social life, and the complex relations betweenWestern cultures and other cultures around the world.The term modern, as we use it in this book, refers to the historical evolution of soci-eties and cultures that may be said to have had the greatest influence in shaping the modemworlda phase of human history that began to develop about five or six centuries ago andis now evolving more rapidly in more places than ever before. This book makes no claimto be a world history, valuable as such histories may be. By design it focuses primarily ondevelopments in the West until the spread of distinctively modem economic, social, andpolitical institutions in the recent past leads to an increasing global emphasis in the book'slater chapters. Although the narrative stresses the influence of European societies (that is,societies shaped by Europeans or the descendants of Europeans) in the emergence of"modem" institutions and social practices, it also emphasizes the worldwide exchanges,conflicts, and interactions that have contributed to the increasingly global culture of thecontemporary era.

章節(jié)摘錄
插圖:From his first public appearance Luther won ardent supporters, for there was a gooddeal of resentment in Germany against Rome. In 1519 and 1520 he ralliedpublic opinion in a series of tracts, setting forth his main beliefs. Hedeclared that the claim of the clergy to be different from the laity was animposture. He urged people to find Christian truth in the Bible for themselves, and in the Bible only. He denounced the reliance on fasts, pilgrimages, saints, and Masses. He rejected the belief in purgatory. He reduced the sevensacraments to two baptism and the communion, as he called the Mass. In the latter herepudiated the new and "modern" doctrine of transubstantiation, while affirming that Godwas still somehow mysteriously present in the bread and wine. He declared that the clergyshould marry, upbraided the prelates for their luxury, and demanded that monasticism beeliminated. To drive through such reforms, while depriving the clergy of their pretensions,he called upon the temporal power, the princes of Germany. He thus issued an invitation tothe state to assume control over religion, an invitation which, in the days of the NewMonarchy, a good many rulers were enthusiastically willing to accept.Threatened by a papal bull with excommunication unless he recanted, Luthersolemnly and publicly burned the bull. Excommunication followed. To the emperor,Charles V, now fell the duty of apprehending the heretic and repressing the heresy. Lutherwas summoned to appear before a diet of the Empire, held at Worms in the Rhineland. Hedeclared that he could be convinced only by Scripture or right reason; otherwise "I neithercan nor will recant anything, since it is neither right nor safe to act against conscience. Godhelp me!Amen." He was placed under the ban of the Empire. But the Elector of Saxonyand other north German princes took him under their protection. In safe seclusion, hebegan to translate the Bible into German.
