Rudolf Dellsperger

Rudolf Dellsperger worked for over 20 years as a professor of church and theological history at the Protestant theological faculty in Bern. The essays collected in this volume are dedicated to the topics of the Reformation and Anabaptism, pietism and revivalism, as well as liberalism and ecclesiastical trends - in Bern and Switzerland, but also in their international context. The book also covers areas of life that long lay outside the established religious landscape of Switzerland, such as the history of Judaism or the emancipation of women in Pietism. This 80th birthday commemorative edition brings together 14 essays and 21 essays from over thirty years of Rudolf Dellsperger's scholarly publications.
