Between 1900 and 1950, the development of German congregations in England was characterised by sudden unprecedented changes. Growth was followed by decline, marginalisation by expansion.

The Troubadour's Tale (Oxford Medieval Mysteries, #5)
by Ann Swinfen
The great German mystic Meister Eckhart remains one of the most fascinating figures in Western thought. Revived interest in Eckhart's mysticism has been matched, and even surpassed, by the study of the women mystics of the late13th century. This book argues that Eckhart's thought cannot be fully be understood until it is viewed against the background of the breakthroughs made by the women mystics who preceded him.

Therefore, this volume includes scholars from a wide range of disciplines, in order to discover the breadth of "real religion" from the first to the fifteenth centuries. This volu...
Lutheran Ecclesiastical Culture, 1550-1675 (Brill's Companions to the Christian Tradition, #11)
Literature on confessionalization has opened new vistas for considering early-modern Christianity and its place in Western social-political contexts, but the ecclesiastical cultures of the period need further research and analysis to refine our focus on how Christians lived in their own communities and related to society at large. This volume's essays assess eight elements of Lutheran life (its foundation in sixteenth-century processing of Luther's legacy, university teaching, preaching, cateche...
