Collectively the contributors demonstrate the reach of the book beyond its initial purpose as a record of missionary work, and into secular and political fields beyond Greenland and Germany. The chapters also reveal how the book contributed to broader discussions and conceptualizations of Greenland as part of the Atlantic world. The interdisciplinary scope of the volume allows for a layered reading of Cranz?s book that demonstrates how different meanings could be drawn from the book in different contexts and how the book resonated throughout time and space. It also makes the broader argument that the construction of the Artic in the eighteenth century broadened our understanding of the Atlantic. 410 0$aChristianities in the Trans-Atlantic World,$x2634-5846 606 $aWorld history 606 $aReligion$xHistory 606 $aBooks$xHistory 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 606 $aHistory of Religion 606 $aHistory of the Book 615 0$aWorld history. 615 0$aReligion$xHistory. 615 0$aBooks$xHistory. 615 14$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 615 24$aHistory of Religion. 615 24$aHistory of the Book. 676 $a284.609 702 $aPetterson$b Christina 702 $aJensz$b Felicity 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483572403321 996 $aLegacies of David Cranz's 'Historie von Grönland' (1765)$94329807 997 $aUNINA
