Aufklärung und Ökumene
English summary: In the age of the late Enlightenment there was an unprecedented ecumenical euphoria in Germany. Numerous Catholic and Protestant theologians and laymen tried to bring their religious denominations closer together by planning and carrying out, either as individuals or in groups, attempts at Catholic-Protestant reunions. These attempts at ecumenicalism, which up to now had remained unnoticed in research on church history, and which - unlike the official talks at the end of the 17th century- were largely made by private persons, are the subject of this work. Christopher Spehr studies the origins, the theological argumentation and the connections between the reunion activities. In addition, he examines the literary reactions of prominent Protestant theologians of the Enlightenment as well as Catholic critics of the Enlightenment and outlines their disapproval. German description: Im Zeitalter der Spataufklarung, der Zeit zwischen dem Ende des Siebenjahrigen Krieges und der Franzosischen Revolution, entstand in Deutschland eine bis dahin nie dagewesene okumenische Euphorie. Zahlreiche katholische und protestantische Theologen und Laien suchten eine Annaherung ihrer Konfessionen zu erreichen, indem sie als Einzelpersonen oder in Arbeitsgruppen katholisch-protestantische Reunionsversuche andachten, konzipierten und unternahmen. Diese in der Kirchengeschichtsforschung bisher kaum beachteten okumenischen Versuche, die - anders als die offiziellen Gesprache am Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts - grosstenteils von Privatpersonen unternommen wurden, sind Gegenstand vorliegender Arbeit. Christopher Spehr konzentriert sich auf die veroffentlichten Reunionsversuche sowie deren Rezeption in Publikationen und ungedruckten Briefen, welche von kirchengeschichtlicher Brisanz sind. Er fragt nach der Entstehungsgeschichte, der theologischen Argumentation und den Zusammenhangen zwischen den reunionistischen Aktivitaten. Ausserdem untersucht er die literarischen Reaktionen prominenter protestantischer Aufklarungstheologen wie katholischer Aufklarungskritiker und skizziert deren ablehnende Haltung bezuglich der Reunionsprojekte.
Conversion and the Politics of Religion in Early Modern Germany

Publisher: Berghahn Books
Release Date: 2012
The Protestant and Catholic Reformations thrust the nature of conversion into the center of debate and politicking over religion as authorities and subjects imbued religious confession with novel meanings during the early modern era. The volume offers insights into the historicity of the very concept of "conversion." One widely accepted modern notion of the phenomenon simply expresses denominational change. Yet this concept had no bearing at the outset of the Reformation. Instead, a variety of processes, such as the consolidation of territories along confessional lines, attempts to ensure civic concord, and diplomatic quarrels helped to usher in new ideas about the nature of religious boundaries and, therefore, conversion. However conceptualized, religious change- conversion-had deep social and political implications for early modern German states and societies. David M.

His publications include His Majesty's Rebels: Factions, Communities, and Rural Revolt in the Black Forest (Cornell University Press 1997) and many articles, most recently "Confessions of the Dead: Interpreting Burial Practice in the Late Reformation" (Archiv für Reformationsgeschichte 101: 2010).

Inquisition, Conversion, and Foreigners in Baroque Rome
In Rome, where strategies to re-establish Roman Catholic orthodoxy were formulated, the problem of how to deal with foreigners and particularly with ‘heretics’ coming from Northern Europe was an important priority throughout the early modern period. Converting foreigners had a special significance for the Papacy. This volume, which includes several case studies, explores the meaning of conversion and the changes of policy adopted by the church bodies set up to protect orthodoxy. It uses inquisitorial documents (from Archivio della Congregazione per la dottrina della Fede) and sources from other archives and libraries, both in Rome and elsewhere. This book is an updated and revised translation of Convertire lo straniero (Viella, 2011), including a bibliography reflecting the most recent scholarship on its subject.
