The essays in An Interrupted Past describe the fate of those German-speaking historians who fled from Nazi Europe to the United States. Their story is set into several contexts: the traditional relationship between German and American historiography, the evolution of the German historical profession in the twentieth century, the onset of Nazi persecution after 1933, the special situation in Austria, and the difficulty of settling the refugees in their new homeland. In addition to articles on prominent scholars, there are accounts of the group as a whole, including information on more than ninety individuals, and of their family lives. An Interrupted Past is set in one of the darkest periods in human history, a time of political catastrophe and personal suffering. Yet the lives recorded here also illustrate people's capacity to survive, adjust, and create under difficult circumstances.

The historical relationship between Protestantism, capitalism, and democracy remains one of the most controversial intellectual themes of out time. Max Weber's famous thesis about the link between the 'Protestant ethic' and the 'spirit of capitalism' and its dissolution in his own era has been both widely acclaimed and heatedly disputed since its publication in 1904-5. This volume, the result of an international, interdisciplinary effort, throws light on the intellectual and cultural background of Weber's work, debates recent criticism of Weber's thesis, and confronts new historical insight on the 17th century with Weber's interpretation.

Paths of Continuity examines the impact of the Third Reich on the German historical profession before and after 1945. The essays look at ten prominent historians whose lives and work spanned the period from the 1930s to the 1960s. Their response to the Nazi regime ranged from open resistance to willing collaboration. Ironically, however, much of the impetus for scholarly innovation after 1945 came from historians with earlier ties to the antiliberal 'folk history' of the Nazi era. All in all, this insightful collection of essays provides fresh insight into the development of West German historical scholarship since 1945.

During the 1920s much attention was paid to the history of Jews in Germany since the Enlightenment and the subject became popular again, with renewed emphasis, after 1945. Many historians were deeply committed to understanding and explaining the tragic path that led from the emancipation of the Jews to the Holocaust. For a long time, much less work was done on the history of Jews in Germany in earlier periods, particularly the period between the late Middle Ages and the Enlightenment. This book is the first comprehensive account of Jewish-Gentile relations in central Europe from the fifteenth to the eighteenth century. It lays particular emphasis on cultural, economic, social, and political issues, and incorporates much new research.

Does modernity make religion politically irrelevant? Conventional scholarly and popular wisdom says that it does. The prevailing view assumes that the onset of western modernity--characterized by the rise of nationalism, the dominance of capitalism, and the emergence of powerful state institutions--favors secularism and relegates religion to the purely private realm. This collection of essays on nationalism and religion in Europe and Asia challenges that view. Contributors show that religion and politics are mixed together in complex and vitally important ways not just in the East, but in the West as well. The book focuses on four societies: India, Japan, Britain, and the Netherlands. It shows that religion and nationalism in these societies combined to produce such notions as the nation being chosen for a historical task (imperialism, for example), the possibility of national revival, and political leadership as a form of salvation. The volume also examines the qualities of religious discourse and practice that can be used for nationalist purposes, paying special attention to how religion can help to give meaning to sacrifice in national struggle.The book's comparative approach underscores that developments in colonizing and colonized countries, too often considered separately, are subtly interrelated. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Benedict R. Anderson, Talal Asad, Susan Bayly, Partha Chatterjee, Frans Groot, Harry Harootunian, Hugh McLeod, Barbara Metcalf, and Peter van Rooden.

This collection explores different approaches to contextualizing and conceptualizing the history of Pietism, particularly Pietistic groups who migrated from central Europe to the British colonies in North America during the long eighteenth century. Emerging in German speaking lands during the seventeenth century, Pietism was closely related to Puritanism, sharing similar evangelical and heterogeneous characteristics. Dissatisfied with the established Lutheran and Reformed Churches, Pietists sought to revivify Christianity through godly living, biblical devotion, millennialism and the establishment of new forms of religious association. As Pietism represents a diverse set of impulses rather than a centrally organized movement, there were inevitably fundamental differences amongst Pietist groups, and these differences - and conflicts - were carried with those that emigrated to the New World. The importance of Pietism in shaping Protestant society and culture in Europe and North America has long been recognized, but as a topic of scholarly inquiry, it has until now received little interdisciplinary attention. Offering essays by leading scholars from a range of fields, this volume provides an interdisciplinary overview of the subject. Beginning with discussions about the definition of Pietism, the collection next looks at the social, political and cultural dimensions of Pietism in German-speaking Europe. This is then followed by a section investigating the attempts by German Pietists to establish new, religiously-based communities in North America. The collection concludes with discussions on new directions in Pietist research. Together these essays help situate Pietism in the broader Atlantic context, making an important contribution to understanding religious life in Europe and colonial North America during the eighteenth century.

The fourteenth, seventeenth and twentieth centuries in European history were marked by exceptionally intense experiences of power, violence and mass death. Power, Violence and Mass Death in Pre-Modern and Modern Times undertakes the ambitious and entirely new task of analyzing, through comparison, the importance of power, violence and mass death in these centuries. Death and the excesses of power were characteristics of the twentieth century, but this volume teaches about the causes and possible consequences of this oppressive individual and collective experience. We now have a more established historical perspective for understanding the importance of power and the causes and results of the rapid increase in mortality in the fourteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this way, this volume makes progress towards reaching new perceptions of all three ''crisis'' epochs. Appealing to a wide readership, Power, Violence and Mass Death in Pre-Modern and Modern Times will be of interest to scholars not only of the three centuries highlighted, but also to anyone with an historical and sociological interest in the larger questions raised about the nature of power, violence and mass death on European society.

Of the thousands of children and young adults who fled Nazi Germany in the years before the Second World War, a remarkable number went on to become trained historians in their adopted homelands. By placing autobiographical testimonies alongside historical analysis and professional reflections, this richly varied collection comprises the first sustained effort to illuminate the role these men and women played in modern historiography. Focusing particularly on those who settled in North America, Great Britain, and Israel, it culminates in a comprehensive, meticulously researched biobibliographic guide that provides a systematic overview of the lives and works of this “second generation.”

In this illuminating comparative study, three generations of leading American and German scholars explore the phenomenon of nationalism in Germany and the United States, from the Declaration of Independence to the fall of the Berlin Wall. The book identifies and defines the similarities and differences between American nationalism, based on an ideology of inherent rights and faith in the 'American dream', and the 'blood and soil' nationalism of Germany. In the process, contributors encounter striking differences between the role of national symbols and the representation of the nation in both countries, and equally revealing parallels regarding the role of political and social movements, as well as the way in which colonial aggression has been related to a nationalistic discourse at home.This interdisciplinary book focuses on five areas:politics (American republicanism and German monarchism)culture (art, architecture, and the arts)warfare and militarismthe writing of national historythe role of political and social movementsThis book not only represents a major contribution to studies of German and American history, but, through the uniqueness of its comparative approach, provides profound insights into the concept of nationalism and signals the way for future comparative research.

Im Zentrum dieses Bandes steht die Frage nach Kontinuität und Diskontinuität im nationalen Denken deutscher Protestanten in den hundert Jahren zwischen der Reichsgründung und dem Beginn der drastischen Säkularisierung aller Lebensverhältnisse im Nachkriegsdeutschland. Die Beiträge untersuchen die Haltung deutscher Protestanten zu den großen Zäsuren der deutschen Geschichte dieser Zeit, analysieren Leitbegriffe und typische Attitüden des nationalprotestantischen Milieus und illustrieren an biographischen Fallbeispielen die enge Verbindung von Nationalismus und protestantischem Christentum, die erst in den sechziger Jahren, lange nach dem Stuttgarter Schuldbekenntnis vom Herbst 1945 bei der Mehrzahl der deutschen Protestanten einer distanzierteren Haltung wich. m Herbst 1945 bei der Mehrzahl der deutschen Protestanten einer distanzierteren Haltung wich.

Warum veränderte und verwandelte sich der Protestantismus in den Jahrhunderten seit Luthers Tod? Warum wurde die protestantische Tradition auch von Protestanten immer wieder in Frage gestellt? Drei kritische Perioden werden in dem vorliegenden Band anhand von spezifischen Beispielen untersucht: die Auswirkungen der Krisen des 17. Jahrhunderts, die weitreichenden Folgen der Erneuerungsbewegungen des späten 17. und des 18. Jahrhunderts und schließlich die Einwirkungen des Nationalismus auf Denken und Verhalten führender Protestanten im späten 19. und im 20. Jahrhundert. Hartmut Lehmann liefert in diesem Band erste Schritte hin zu einer neuen und umfassenden Analyse der Eigenart des Protestantismus.

Als die Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland 2008 eine Lutherdekade als Vorbereitung auf das große Reformationsjubiläum des Jahres 2017 ausrief, hatte Hartmut Lehmann sich bereits viele Jahre mit den Lutherjubiläen der vergangenen Jahrhunderte beschäftigt. So lag es nahe, dass er auch die von der EKD im Hinblick auf 2017 unternommenen Aktivitäten beobachtete und sich dazu an verschiedenen Stellen äußerte. Außerdem wurde er in den Jahren zwischen 2008 und 2017 immer wieder zu Vorträgen über das bevorstehende Jubiläum gebeten. So entstanden eine Reihe von kritischen Kommentaren zum Reformationsfest 2017, von denen hier eine Auswahl vorliegt. Die Bilanz, die Hartmut Lehmann zieht, ist durchaus kritisch. Auf der einen Seite würdigt er zwar die Restaurationsarbeiten an den originalen Luthergedenkstätten, die großen nationalen Ausstellungen, die 2017 gezeigt wurden sowie einige neuere wissenschaftliche Arbeiten zu Luther und der Reformation. Auf der anderen Seite ist ihm aber aufgefallen, dass die EKD die nichtdeutschen protestantischen Kirchen nicht angemessen in die Vorbereitungen einbezogen hat – deshalb entstand in den Niederlanden Refo500; dass es der EKD und der Katholischen Kirche erst in der letzten Phase der Lutherdekade gelang, sich gemeinsam zu Fortschritten in der Ökumene zu bekennen; dass der Plan der EKD, die Lutherdekade als "Dekade der Freiheit" zu feiern, auf viel Widerstand stieß; dass die EKD sich erst viel zu spät dezidiert von den fatalen Judenschriften Luthers distanzierte und dass für das große Jubiläumsfest im Jahre 2017 kein überzeugendes, über das Jahr hinaus strahlendes Motto gefunden wurde. Die Texte dieses Bandes entstanden zwischen 2008 und 2018. Sie machen deutlich, wie umstritten die Erinnerungsbemühungen an Martin Luther aus Anlass der 500jährigen Wiederkehr des Beginns der Reformation waren.

Bewegende Dokumente eines protestantischen Wehrmachtpfarrers im Widerstand gegen Hitler.Der Wehrmachtpfarrer Johannes Schröder hatte sich schon als junger Pastor für die Ziele der Bekennenden Kirche eingesetzt. An der Front wollte er diese auf seine eigene Weise verfolgen. Nachdem er 1943 bei Stalingrad in sowjetische Kriegsgefangenschaft geraten war, schloss er sich dem Nationalkomitee "Freies Deutschland" an und bekam die Möglichkeit, sich über den Rundfunk in über 80 Ansprachen an Hörer und Hörerinnen in Deutschland zu wenden. Die in Schröders Nachlass erhaltenen und hier zum ersten Mal vollständig edierten und kommentierten Predigten und Ansprachen zeugen von seinem wachen Gewissen und seinem Willen, dem Ungeist der Nationalsozialisten Widerstand zu leisten, ebenso wie von der Hoffnung auf ein neues und freies Deutschland nach dem Krieg.Die Dokumentation wird erschlossen durch Essays zu seiner Biographie, zum historischen Hintergrund, zu seiner theologischen Haltung sowie zur musikalischen Begleitung der Predigten.

Pandemien, Kriege, Klimanotstand: Auch in der Vergangenheit haben die Menschen verheerende Katastrophen erlebt. Was können wir aus ihren Erfahrungen lernen?Die Corona-Pandemie, die Klimakatastrophe, neue Kriege in Europa und im Nahen Osten: Wir scheinen vor einer noch nie da gewesenen, fatalen Extremsituation zu stehen. Doch in den letzten 800 Jahren haben die Menschen in Europa schon mehrmals der »Apokalypse« ins Auge schauen müssen und die beginnende Endzeit befürchtet. Im 14. Jahrhundert hinterließ die Pest eine Spur der Verwüstung. Im späten 16. und 17. Jahrhundert verursachte eine Klimaverschlechterung eine quälend lange Serie von Hungersnöten, Seuchen und Kriegen. Im 20. Jahrhundert brachten Krieg und Vernichtung menschlichen Lebens in bisher ungekanntem Ausmaß die politische und moralische Ordnung auf der ganzen Welt aus der Balance. Diese extremen Szenarien markieren Brüche und gesellschaftliche Belastungsproben. Der Historiker Hartmut Lehmann erklärt leicht verständlich, was die Katastrophen für die Menschen in ihrem Alltag bedeuteten und was davon sie in Erinnerung behielten. Er fragt, welche Rolle Verschwörungstheorien bei all diesen Ereignissen spielten und wer als Sündenbock herhalten musste. Nicht zuletzt geht es darum, welche Lektionen aus den existentiellen Bedrohungen der Vergangenheit uns heute helfen könnten, die Herausforderungen unserer Zeit zu bewältigen.
