  • Product Description

    This book addresses the role of religion in the massive political changes that took place in Eastern Europe in 1989, focusing particularly on the role played by the East German Church in that country's bloodless revolution. Drawing on his own research in East Germany, Burgess demonstrates the roots of the church's theology in Barth, Bonhoeffer, and the 1934 Barmen declaration and explores how the dissident groups drew on church symbols and language to develop a popular alternative theology. Finally, he shows how the theological tension between the church and the dissidents provided impetus for political democratization.
