Politics and Piety: The Protestant Awakening in Prussia, 1816-1856 de David L. Ellis

Politics and Piety: The Protestant Awakening in Prussia, 1816-1856: Studies in the History of Christian Traditions, cartea 186

Autor David L. Ellis
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 mai 2017
In Politics and Piety: The Protestant 'Awakening' in Prussia, 1816-1856, David L. Ellis analyzes the connections between political conservatism and Prussia’s neo-Pietist religious revival, especially in Brandenburg and Pomerania, in the years surrounding the revolution of 1848. Awakened conservatives waged a cultural struggle against political and religious liberalism, impacting the state church, the outcome of the revolution, and Prussia’s controversial neutrality in the Crimean War. Awakened leaders, in their effort to recover and adapt a pre-Napoleonic order, ironically modernized conservatism with individualistic rhetoric, widely circulated newspapers, and political organization.

Recenzii

“a well-founded, chronologically organized overview of the movement’s emergence and development, keeping a steady eye on its political effects […] Ellis is able to show in detail how religiously inspired mindsets and arguments contributed to the political debates of the time […] a nuanced and thus more accurate account than previous scholarship”

Hans-Christof Kraus, University of Passau, in German Historical Institute London Bulletin, XLII.2 pp, 25–32



"With its focus on a Protestant, neo-Pietist revival movement known as the Awakened, Politics and piety describes a contentious relationship with the mainstream Protestant Church, discusses the complicated changes in Prussia’s religious environment and assesses the political implication of these changes from the Congress of Vienna in 1815 down to the start of the New Era in 1858 under Wilhelm [...] Ellis’s willingness toexplore difficult issues – the role of popular religion, for example, or the unintended consequences of attempting to repair or renew old forms of society – provides an important and more nuanced discussion of the cultural response to political and social change in eastern Prussia during the transition from post- Napoleonic reform to the emergence of a modern bureaucratic authoritarian state.

Ronald J. Ross, University of Wisconsin, in Journal of Ecclesastical History 70, pp 415-416
