German and Scandinavian Protestantism 1700-1918 (Oxford History of the Christian Church)

Description

Review
`This is a work of very special character ... a work of fine nuances, a study in which the complicated network of the post-Reformation ecclesiastical situation in Germany and Scandinavia is explored by means of approaching it from various different angles ... Throughout the work, personal and collective forms of devotional life receive much attention ... This is a rich book; all the more interesting because of its idiosyncratic structure. It is not a manual in the traditional sense ... a work which, just because of its originality, may be considered a valuable addition to the steadily expanding Oxford History of the Christian Church.' Journal of Theological Studies`Although the text is crowded with informative portraits of scholars, church leaders, devotional authors, architects, and musicians, it also offers important interpretive insights ... Hope deserves praise for his pioneering work, which contributes much both to comparative church history and to our understanding of a neglected aspect of the modernization process in Central and Northern Europe.' American Historical Review

Product Description
This book is the first history in English of the Lutheran Church in Germany and Scandinavia from 1700 to the end of the First World War. Hope details how the social and political upheaval of the period challenged the structure and ethos of the Reformation churches, and how Protestantism
evolved to meet these profound challenges.
