“…-this from a poem she composed in 1524. 49 She spoke of her inner certainty: "Ah, but what a joy it is when the spirit of God teaches us and gives us understanding, flitting from one text to the next.

Historians and archaeologists, noting the catastrophic loss of continuity with previous generations, talk of the “death of the past”. Over the last two decades letters, autobiographies, diaries and family chronicles have attracted increasing attention as a window to the emotional life of the past. Clearly this is of particular interest for theology. What actually happens when thoughts, events, emotions are distilled into writing and when scratchings of quill on paper are transmogrified into print? Is it helpful to describe such fragments from the past as “Ego-documents” or “Self-representations”? What did early modern believers, and religious writers such as Erasmus, Cardinal Contarini, Martin Luther, Thomas Müntzer or Argula von Grumbach think about genre, identity, processes of communication? What are we to make of their writings, how steer a way between naive replication and impenetrable theory? Are there rituals we should be deploying to sharpen our focus and clean up our interpretive grid?

The Viral Reformer and the Virtual Body of Christ

Recent scholarship on sixteenth-century reformer Martin Luther has been increasingly interested in making connections between Luther's use of the social media and networked communities of his day and our current digital revolution. While Andrew Pettigree and others focus on the brand Luther and friends like Lucas Cranach created, it is important to acknowledge that, somewhat similar to our current context, access to technology like the printing press provided a platform for new voices to contribute to reform movements. This article traces ways in which "Brand Luther" became "Brand Reformation" through voices like those of female reformers like Argula von Grumbach and Katharina Zell, and builds on sixteenth-century models to construct a contemporary digital ethic of neighbor love in the virtual body of Christ.
