Berghahn Books Persecution and Resistance of Jehovah's Witnesses
Book Synopsis More than 50 years after the end of the Third Reich, Jehovah's Witnesses, like Sinti and Roma, continue to be forgotten victims in the broader public’s consciousness. Only recently have historians and concentration camp memorials increasingly focused on this category of inmates who were marked and stigmatized in concentration camps with purple triangles. Through 22 articles, 19 authors employ the latest research in Persecution and Resistance of Jehovah’s Witnesses during the Nazi Regime to summarize the multifaceted history of those prisoners in the Wewelsburg, Sachsenhausen and Moringen concentration camps. Comprehensively, this volume includes a lens on the persecution of the female members of Jehovah's Witnesses, who made up the largest group of inmates of the female concentration camps up until the beginning of the Second World War; contributions that for the first time deal with the hitherto largely unknown history of the persecution of Jehovah’s Witnesses specifically in the GDR; and, to round out this volume’s extensiveness, there also are around 120 documents and photos, previously mostly unseen.Trade Review "We must be grateful for this book, deeply grateful. In essay after essay we read of the fate of Jehovah's Witnesses in Nazi concentration camps. Some of the essays tell large stories. The other essays tell small stories of a few individuals - stories that illuminate the whole. Part of this work addresses the situation of the Witnesses in Germany... Jews were victimized not because of what they did, nor because of what they were. They were targeted for destruction because of what their grandparents were... Alone of all the groups targeted by the Nazis, the Jehovah's Witnesses were victimized because of what they refused to do. They would not enlist in the army, undertake air raid drills, stop meeting or proselytizing. They would not utter the words 'Heil Hitler.' Their dissent was irksome, disciplined and systematic...Jews had no choice. Jehovah's Witnesses did. As such, they are martyrs in the traditional sense of the term - those prepared to suffer and even to die for the choice of their faith." (From the Preface by Michael Berenbaum, Ida E.

Verlag Peter Lang Reich Christi Und Obrigkeit: Eine Studie Zum
Book SynopsisDas Denken und Handeln des Strassburger Reformators Martin Bucer (1491-1551) ist überaus vielfältig und komplex. Die vorliegende Studie bietet erstmalig eine kohärente Gesamtdarstellung dieser Gedankenwelt und ihrer praktischen Umsetzung. Der Terminus regnum Christi, ein Schlüsselbegriff der bucerschen Theologie, steht im Zentrum der Arbeit, wobei insbesondere das Verhältnis zwischen Reich Christi und Obrigkeit analysiert wird. Anhand der Themenkomplexe Bilder, Bildung, Messe, Dissidenten, Zucht und Interim werden die jeweiligen Positionen Bucers und des Strassburger Rats, ihre Zusammenarbeit wie auch ihre Kontroversen aufgezeigt. Im Rahmen der Themenstellung beschäftigt sich die Studie auch mit Bucers Wirken ausserhalb von Strassburg. Analysiert werden das reformatorische Engagement in den freien Reichsstädten Ulm und Augsburg sowie im Erzbistum Köln, die Beratertätigkeit zugunsten des Landgrafen Philipp von Hessen (u. a. in der Frage nach der Tolerierung der Juden) sowie die Bemühungen um die sichtbare Einheit des regnum Christi in der Zeit der Religionsgespräche.

Brill A Companion to Catholicism and Recusancy in
Book SynopsisA Companion to Catholicism and Recusancy in Britain and Ireland is an edited collection of nineteen essays written by a range of experts and some newer scholars in the areas of early modern British and Irish history and religion. In addition to English Catholicism, developments in Ireland, Scotland, and Wales, as well as ongoing connections and interactions with Continental Catholicism, are well incorporated throughout the volume. Many currents of the latest scholarship are addressed and advanced, including religious minorities and exiles, women and gender studies, literary and material culture, religious identity construction, and, within Catholic studies, the role of laity as well as clergy, and of female as well as male religious. In all, these essays significantly advance the movement of early modern British and Irish Catholicism from the historiographical margins to an evolving, but ultimately more capacious and accurate, historical mainstream.Table of ContentsAcknowledgements List of Illustrations Abbreviations Notes on Contributors Introduction Robert E.

Peeters Publishers Religious Modernism in the Low Countries
Book SynopsisThe collection of essays in Religious Modernism in the Low Countries aims at instigating a comparative analysis of Protestant and Roman Catholic modernisms. The contributions make abundantly clear that the modernist landscape in the Low Countries in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries offers an exceptional variety of views and perspectives that invite a comparative study. Where should we look for commonalities and where for inevitable differences? To what extent is there a simultaneity in the emergence of progressive thought in these religious traditions? What is the impact of ecclesiastical, geographical, and political structures? The essays show that the story of modernism is closely allied with that of a sometimes virulent anti-modernist reaction. A differentiated understanding of these intellectual developments and confrontations sheds further light on the 'shared history' of Roman Catholics and Protestants in their efforts to respond to the various challenges posed by the modern world.
