Synopses & Reviews
Frommigkeit-Theologie-Frommigkeitstheologie: these terms stand for subject areas to which the Erlangen church historian Berndt Hamm has devoted special attention for many years. His meticulous and innovative work has borne fruit in countless publications concentrating especially on the late Middle Ages and the Reformation. Inspired by Hamm's research and responding to it in manifold ways, his colleagues and students from Europe and the U.S. present the fruits of their own work in the present volume, which in its contents stretches all the way from the renewal of penance in the early Middle Ages to modern-day apocalyptic evangelical piety, gratefully dedicating it to him on his sixtieth birthday. Interdisciplinary in nature, this Festschrift includes insightful case studies of individual persons, places and events as well as the results of fascinating research on long-term developments and general structures.

Frommigkeit - Theologie - Frommigkeitstheologie: Den mit diesen Begriffen bezeichneten Phanomenen gilt das besondere Forschungsinteresse des Erlanger Kirchenhistorikers Berndt Hamm. In zahlreichen Veroffentlichungen, insbesondere uber die Zeit des Spatmittelalters und der Reformation, hat es seinen Niederschlag gefunden. Hamms Impulse mit unterschiedlichen Akzentsetzungen aufnehmend, widmen ihm Kollegen/-innen und Schuler/-innen aus Europa und den USA anlasslich seines 60. Geburtstages den vorliegenden, interdisziplinar angelegten Sammelband, der den Bogen von Untersuchungen zur Erneuerung der Bue im Fruhmittelalter bis hin zur pietistisch-evangelikalen Endzeitfrommigkeit unserer Tage spannt. Fallstudien zu einzelnen Personen, Orten oder Ereignissen finden hier ebenso ihren Platz wie groere Entwicklungslinien und Zusammenhange aufzeigende Forschungsbeitrage.
