Kirchliche Zeitgeschichte_evangelisch: Band 3: Protestantismus in Der Nachkriegszeit (1945-1961)

The history of the church and Christianity since World War I seen as contemporary church history is increasingly moving into the focus of academic and public interest. As part of a four-volume handbook-like survey of contemporary church history, this third volume offers an overview of the postwar period in ten chapters (including politics, theology, education, culture, diaconia, and Judaism). The various forms of Protestant church life and Protestant Christianity, as they emerged in West and East German society under the sign of economic reconstruction, are unfolded. The book, written in a highly descriptive manner by renowned experts, provides a profound historical foundation and opens up perspectives for understanding the church history of the entire 20th century.
