Kirche in revolutionärer Zeit

This study analyzes the attitude of the state church in Schleswig and Holstein to the issue of revolution in the historical context of the period 1789 to 1848. Taking a regional historical perspective, the accounts examine church functionaries in their development from critics of revolution to revolutionary activists. The conditions and aims of sermons and spiritual care in both post-revolutionary times and prior to the revolutions of 1848 are illuminated through many, often unpublished sources dating from the pre-March era.
