Short description:
The first history in English of the Lutheran Church in Germany and Scandinavia from 1700 to the end of the First World War - the age of Bach and the Enlightenment, and fundamental social and political change.
MoreLong description:
This book is the first history in English of the Lutheran Church in Germany and Scandinavia in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. A period of fundamental and lasting change in the political landscape--with the separation of the old twin monarchies of Sweden-Finland and Denmark-Norway in Scandinavia (1809, 1814), and the unification of Germany (1866-71), this was also a time of particular unease and upheaval for the Church. Attempts to emulate the spiritual community of the early church, reform of the church establishment, and steps taken to enlighten parishioners were almost held back by the anomalous structural legacy of the Reformation, tradition, and parish habit, sacred and profane. However, the birth of the modern nation-state and its market economy posed a fundamental challenge to the structure and ethos of the Reformation churches, as it did to the Catholic Church. The First World War deepened the crisis further: German Protestants (and the Scandinavians were not immune either, although they remained neutral), who bracketed modernity with crisis and religious with national renewal, and who saw national loyalty as a higher value than the faith, fellowship, and moral order of the Church, were swept up into the maw of a modern national war machine which threatened to wipe out Protestantism altogether.
the book offers many insights ... a wealth of information which is otherwise not readily available - notably on the Baltic Churches and on Lutheran worship - and an invaluable 57-page bibliography. For all of this, as for its charming examples of the idiosyncrasies of the fragmented "churchscape" of German Protestantism, mostly now rationalised away, I shall turn to it again and again.
