This book focuses on the national conceptualization of Judaism and
Jews by German neo-Pietists from the early Restoration (1815) until
the New Era (neue AEra, 1858-1861), at which point Prussia and
other German states embarked on a liberal course. The book
demonstrates how a certain understanding of nationalism by Awakened
Christians, who were associated with political conservatism, was
applied to themselves as belonging to a German nation, and
correspondingly to Jews as members of a distinct Jewish nation. It
argues that this kind of nationalization by neo-Pietists-among them
theologians, intellectuals, and members of the agrarian
aristocracy-was interwoven with their religion of the heart, and
drew on a tradition of a community of kinship established by the
earlier German Pietism since the late seventeenth century. The book
sheds new light on the accommodation of nationalism by German
Pietist conservatives, who so far were considered as opponents of
the national idea. At the same time, it shows that their posture
towards Jews was not merely anti-Semitic. It emerged from a
specific religious-national synthesis, and aimed at an alternative
solution to the Jewish Question, other than emancipation, in the
form of Jewish national political independence.
