Engaging this period of historic strife, \u003cem\u003eGermany and the Confessional Divide\u003c\/em\u003e focuses on three traumatic episodes: the Kulturkampf waged against the Catholic Church in the 1870s, the collapse of the Hohenzollern monarchy and state-supported Protestantism after World War I, and the Nazi persecution of the churches. It argues that memories of these traumatic experiences regularly reignited confessional tensions. Only as German society became increasingly secular did these memories fade and tensions ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Edward Ruff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 180073087X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800730878\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/10\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 438\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.45lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.06h x 6.14w x 1.02d","brand":"Mark Edward Ruff","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43987035783423,"sku":"9781800730878","price":149.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6c5fb291-14f9-4e41-8363-7707dee1d489.jpg?v=1683286629","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/germany-and-the-confessional-divide-mark-edward-ruff-9781800730878","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
