Beskrivning

This book offers a comparative overall perspective on the birth and development of the Baltic national church history writing from the beginning of the twentieth century until the Second World War. How did the research trends of the era, the ecclesiastical situation and the tensions in the Baltic Sea Region connect to the national Protestant historiography?Up to now, the topic has been discussed mostly in terms of individual countries, but in this book, the perspective is broader. Along with Estonia and Latvia, the emerging national Protestant historiography of Lithuania is examined as a part of this whole.The subject is analysed through three professors, Olaf Sild (1879–1944; the University of Tartu, Estonia), Ludvigs Adamovičs (1884–1942; the University of Latvia, Riga) and Vilius Gaigalaitis (Wilhelm Gaigalat, 1870–1945; the University of Lithuania, Kaunas). They made a substantial contribution to the teaching of evangelical theology at the national universities of each country.
