Book excerpt: As the birthplace of the Reformation, Germany has been the site of some of the most significant moments in the history of European Christianity. Today, however, its religious landscape is one that would scarcely be recognizable to earlier generations. This groundbreaking survey of German postwar religious life depicts a profoundly changed society: congregations shrink, private piety is on the wane, and public life has almost entirely shed its Christian character, yet there remains a booming market for syncretistic and individualistic forms of “popular religion.” Losing Heaven insightfully recounts these dramatic shifts and explains their consequences for German religious communities and the polity as a whole.

Download or read book Popular Catholicism in Nineteenth Century Germany written by Jonathan Sperber and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2019-04-23 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on an area roughly equivalent to the contemporary state of North Rhine-Westphalia, this description of popular religious life between 1830 and 1880 revises established postitions of German historiography. It depicts thee increasing laicization of the first half of the nineteenth century, with its mediocre church attendance and secularized morality, and goes on to show how the two decdes after 1850 reversed the trend toward secularization. During the latter period, renewal of the people's loyalty to the church encouraged a developing political Catholicism. The author demonstrates that urbanization and industrialization may well have strengthened popular piety, rather than weakening it. He considers a variety of political implications of popular religious life, from the revolution of 1848/49 to the Kulturkampf of the 1870s, and see political Catholicism in Germany as asrising not exclusively from church-state confrontations but from the interaction of new religious practices with a changing socioeconomic environment and a counter-revolutionary ideology. Jonathan Sperber is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Missouri--Columbia. Originally published in 1984.

Download or read book Partners in Spirit written by Fiona J. Griffiths and published by Brepols Pub. This book was released on 2014 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partners in Spirit focuses on relations between chaste men and women within religious life in Germany (c. 1100-1500), concentrating on the complex set of negotiations that governed contact between a male priest and his female charge. Although religious women were undeniably reliant on priests for pastoral care (the cura monialium) throughout the medieval period, it does not follow that men saw such care as burdensome or that women were spiritually subordinate in their relations with priests. Within the context of the cura, ordained men and professed women met regularly, often developing intimate friendships and providing each other with crucial spiritual support, despite prevailing fears that contact between the sexes must result in sexual temptation and sin. Examining the various interactions of priests with religious women, Partners in Spirit traces the ways in which both viewed the cura, highlighting the fluidity of gender and authority within the medieval religious life. In so doing, the volume suggests new ways of considering the intersection of gender, religion, and spiritual power within the medieval world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Life in Germany: As Seen in the State and the Church The number of English speaking youth in the Universities and Technical Schools in Germany is in. Creasing every year. It is interesting to know what kind of religious influences are within their reach even if in their student life they do not yield to these influ ences. Great Britain and America owe a debt of gratitude to Germany for the literature she has fur nished their people, for the contributions she has made to Christian song, and for her devotion to higher Christian learning. In the attention given to the results of special studies, particularly to the re sults of the so=called Higher Criticism, both countries are in danger Of overlooking equally important con tributions in practical Christian work. Few people either in Great Britain or in America realize the ex tent and importance of the Foreign Missionary work which the German Churches are carrying on, or of that still more wonderful home work which is em braced under the general term Inner Mission (die innere Mission).

Excerpt: ... chapter ii the separatists The first German emigration to America was of Separatists and the earliest emigrants were nearly all of this religious persuasion. The Separatists were of two sorts: those who separated themselves from the organized churches, the Lutheran and Reformed, and those who did not come out from any church, but formed groups or loosely cohering sects of their own. The latter kind were most commonly thrust out by persecution; the former, the "churchly Separatists," as they are called by Goebel in his "Geschichte des Christlichen Lebens," often left the Babylon of some established church from an exaggerated opinion of ecclesiastical corruption and their own superior righteousness. First of the Separatist emigration in point of time, number and importance were the Mennonites. These followers of Menno Simon had had surcease from severe persecution for more than a century when Penn made known among the Dutch Mennonites the plans for a colony of religious freedom. The Princes of the House of Orange, beginning with William the Silent, had found the "Weaponless Christians"--their chosen name--so peaceable, harmless and industrious that they had granted the sect a toleration expressly denied Anabaptists by the Peace of Westphalia. Thus Holland became the natural refuge of the Mennonites, and the centre of their church;--from that land went out help to the poor brethren in Germany; there were printed their Bibles and hymn books and Confession of Faith, and the ponderous history of their martyrs. In Germany they were settled in the Pfalz, invited thither by the elector, Karl Ludwig, in 1671; also in Elsass, reinforced by " the Switzers which were fled thither from Zurich."' These Anabaptists of the Palatinate were said to be...
