Ellis analyzes the connections between political conservatism and Prussia’s neo-Pietist religious revival, especially in Brandenburg and Pomerania, in the years surrounding the revolution of 1848. Awakened conservatives waged a cultural struggle against political and religious liberalism, impacting the state church, the outcome of the revolution, and Prussia’s controversial neutrality in the Crimean War. Awakened leaders, in their effort to recover and adapt a pre-Napoleonic order, ironically modernized conservatism with individualistic rhetoric, widely circulated newspapers, and political organization.Studies in the history of Christian traditions ;Volume 186.ProtestantismGermanyPrussiaHistory19th centuryChristianity and politicsGermanyPrussiaHistory19th centuryChurch and stateGermanyPrussiaHistory19th centuryPrussia (Germany)Church history19th centuryProtestantismHistoryChristianity and politicsHistoryChurch and stateHistory280.4094309034Ellis David L.95708MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910792716603321Politics and piety3760272UNINA
