Ecumenism Memory And German Nationalism 18171917 Stan M Landry by Stan M. Landry 9780815652502, 081565250X instant download after payment.

Explores the relationship among the German confessional divide, collective memories of religion, and the construction of German national identity and difference. It argues that nineteenth-century proponents of church unity used and abused memories of Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation to espouse German religious unity, which would then serve as a catalyst for German national unification.
"Historians of nineteenth-century German national identity tend to emphasize confessional conflict, above all between Protestants and Catholics. In this wide-ranging book, Stan Landry spotlights an important new side to the story."—Brian Vick, author of Defining Germany
