Christian vs. Christian

Outlining the provincial causes and ravaging effects of Europe’s Thirty Years’ War, this program illustrates the ability of religious fervor to inflame nationalism and drive the quest for power. With background on Martin Luther’s split with the Catholic Church and the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, Dr. Helmut Neuhaus of Friedrich Alexander University offers detailed analysis of the Hapsburg-Bohemian conflict, the shifting alliances of Catholics and Protestants, and the mercenary campaigns of Wallenstein—leading to a comparison with large-scale natural disaster. The program clearly identifies the three-decade inferno as an inspiration for later divisions of church and state. (30 minutes)
