Olavus Petri: The Church Reformer of Sweden is a historical biography written by Nils Forsander in 1918. The book tells the story of Olavus Petri, a prominent figure in the Swedish Reformation who played a key role in the establishment of the Lutheran Church in Sweden. The biography provides a detailed account of Petri's life and work, from his early years as a student in Germany to his eventual return to Sweden, where he became involved in the religious and political upheavals of the time. The book explores Petri's efforts to reform the Church in Sweden, including his translation of the Bible into Swedish and his role in the development of the Swedish liturgy.Forsander also delves into the political and social context of Petri's work, examining the tensions between the Church and the State, as well as the broader cultural and intellectual movements of the time. The book provides a comprehensive portrait of Petri as a complex and multifaceted figure, whose contributions to Swedish history and culture continue to be felt to this day.Overall, Olavus Petri: The Church Reformer of Sweden is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Swedish Reformation, as well as the broader history of religion, politics, and culture in early modern Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
