In the course of the nineteenth century, the boundaries that
divided Protestants, Catholics and Jews in Germany were redrawn,
challenged, rendered porous and built anew. This book addresses
this redrawing. It considers the relations of three religious
groups-Protestants, Catholics, and Jews-and asks how, by dint of
their interaction, they affected one another.Previously, historians
have written about these communities as if they lived in isolation.
Yet these groups coexisted in common space, and interacted in
complex ways. This is the first book that brings these separate
stories together and lays the foundation for a new kind of
religious history that foregrounds both cooperation and conflict
across the religious divides. The authors analyze the influences
that shaped religious coexistence and they place the valences of
co-operation and conflict in deep social and cultural contexts. The
result is a significantly altered understanding of the emergence of
modern religious communities as well as new insights into the
origins of the German tragedy, which involved the breakdown of
religious coexistence.
