It is based on the research that I published in the six books listed on the reverse side of the half title page, and is supplemented with references to newer literature at various points. The book takes a religious and/or a church history perspective and is concerned with the attitudes of the Danish Church toward Judaism and Jews and vice versa. I have highlighted those events, personages and movements, both within Danish Judaism and within the Christian Church, that I believe are most important and best illuminate the topic in each historical period. However, here, as in other representations of history, the especially extra- ordinary cases, scandals, unfortunate events, controversial writings, etc., have had the greatest impact on the source material. Constant attention must be paid to this circumstance in the depiction of each historical period. Up to and into the 1800s, bishops and priests of the Church and theologians of the univer- sity shaped Danish opinion and influenced the government policies enforced upon Jews and also influenced the attitudes adopted by the population. It was not until the beginning of the 19th century that Danish Jews began to react against this one-sided anti-Jewish stance of the leaders of the Church. This is the sequence of events that this book recounts. I have limited notes to brief references to the sources of direct quotations and to the relevant literature, most of which is in the Danish language. I have used ‘priest’ to denote a position in the Lutheran church. I am extremely grateful to the Velux Foundation and Den Hielmstierne- Rosencroneske Stiftelse for their economic support for this publication, and also to the Faculty of Theology of the University of Copenhagen, where, as pro- fessor emeritus, I have been able to continue to conduct my research at the Department of Church History. I am also thankful for the economic support toward the English translation of this book that I received from the founda- tions: Carlsbergfondet, Lillian and Dan Finks Fond, and Consul George Jorck og Hustru Emma Jorcks Fond. Finally, I would like to express my gratitude to Margaret Ryan Hellman for her English translation, help, and advice. Copenhagen, 1. April, 2015 Martin Schwarz Lausten Professor Emeritus, Doctor of Theology Note about This Volume This book is based on the following volumes by the same author: 1 Kirke og synagoge.

    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • Bachs Kantater for Hele Kirkeåret
    BACHKANTATER FOR ET HELT KIRKEÅR Av Sigmund Hjorthaug Hva er en kantate? En kantate består av flere sanger som er satt sammen til en enhet. Det kan være både korsanger og solosanger. Bach skrev mange kantater som ble sunget under gudstjenesten. I Leipzig hvor han var organist skrev han en ny kantate for hver søndag og helligdag i året. Det gjorde han i fem år. Det vil si at han har laget over 300 kantater i kirken. 100 av dem er gått tapt, så vi har 200 kirkekantater av ham i dag. Bach har dagens evangelium som utgangspunkt når han lager sine kantater. Det kan være en salme som berører dagens tema, han kan bruke bibeltekster eller andre tekster som noen har$ skrevet for ham. Bach er opptatt av å forkynne evangeliet gjennom sine kantater. De ble alltid sunget etter at evangeliet ble lest. Deretter kom kantaten som en liten preken i sang. Så ble evangeliet lest igjen og presten holdt dagens preken. Hvorfor skal vi høre Bachs kantater i dag? Bach var lutheraner. Selv hadde han Luthers samlede verker i sitt hjem. Han kjente godt til den lutherske lære. Den lutherske lære kommer tydelig frem i hans kantatetekster. Han hadde også en meget stor interesse for den lutherske salme og bruker den rikelig i sin kirkemusikk. Han formår med sin musikk å formidle evangeliet som ingen annen komponist kan gjøre. Derfor vil en luthersk kristen ha stort utbytte av å lytte til hans musikk. Noen kan synes musikken fra denne tid virker noe uvant. Da kan det være lurt å starte med de enkle korsangene som han alltid avslutter kantatene med.

Danish Lutheran Churches in America: Contributions of the United (Danish) Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1896-1960 by Edward A. Hansen The most noteworthy contribution of the UELC was its people. The laity and clergy of this church brought a willingness to change their old ethnic ways in order to convey their faith, their energy, and their insights to the broader body of Lutherans in America. The Situation in the UDELC at the close of World War II The United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church was formed in 1896 by a merger of two Danish immigrant groups. One group, the "Blair Synod" had been excluded from the Danish Lutherans organized in America in 1872, in a controversy mainly involving the Bible as the Word of God. The second group, the "North Church," had been organized in 1884 by Danish members of the Norwegian­ Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church (founded in 1870).

  • Wittenberg Influences on the Reformation in Scandinavia by Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika
    Wittenberg Influences on the Reformation in Scandinavia by Simo Heininen, Otfried Czaika Wittenberg was the most important source of inspiration for the Reformation in both of the Scandinavian kingdoms, the Danish kingdom and the Swedish kingdom. In both kingdoms, the authorities played a defining role in the Reformation, though it proceeded very differently in these two Early Modern states. The Reformation became securely established most quickly – both politically and in terms of church law – in the Danish core territory. Sweden, on the other hand, was de facto already a Lutheran country before 1550, though it did not become Lutheran de jure also until the last decade of the 16th century. Particularly in the peripheral parts of Scandinavia (especially Norway and Iceland), the Reformation went hand in hand with closer political integration in Scandinavia and it was therefore adopted rather reluctantly by the population. TABLE OF CONTENTS 1. Political Background 2. Denmark 3. Norway and Iceland 4. Sweden 5. Finland 6. Conclusion 7. Appendix 1. Sources 2. Bibliography 3. Notes Indices Citation Political Background From 1397, the kingdoms of Denmark, Norway and Sweden were united in a personal union (the so-called Kalmar Union) under Danish control (ᇄ Media Link #ab). In the early-16th century, the union was approaching its end. There were increasing tensions between Denmark and Sweden, the latter being governed by regents from the House of Sture. In November 1520, Christian II of Denmark (1481–1559) (ᇄ Media Link #ac), the last union king, was crowned for a second time in Stockholm. After the coronation festivities had been concluded, a heresy trial was staged with the help of the Archbishop of Uppsala and the accused were the supporters of the Sture party.

  • Jens Lyster Forfatterportræt Af Hans Thomissøn
    Fra Det Kgl. Biblioteks tekstportal (tekster.kb.dk) Forfatter: Jens Lyster Titel: Forfatterportræt af Hans Thomissøn Citation: ”Hans Thomissøn”, i Hans Thomissøn. Onlineudgave fra Arkiv for Dansk Litteratur: https://tekster.kb.dk/text/adl-authors-thomissoen-p-root.pdf (tilgået 29. september 2021) Hans Thomissøn - Forfatterportræt skrevet af Jens Lyster Hans Thomissøn Indhold Indledning Biografi Forfatterskabet Modtagelse Forfatterskabets efterliv Tekstoplysninger Bibliografi Om forfatteren til dette forfatterportræt Indledning. Maria med skæg I Den Danske Salmebog, 1953, nr. 56 skiller "Jeg vil mig Herren love" i sin begejstrede og henførte lovprisning af Vorherre Jesus sig mærkbart ud fra samtidens, dvs. 1500-tallets salmer. Om Jesus hedder det, at "Han lignes ved solen den klare, som skinner på himlens bold", og han tiltales som "O Jesus, morgenstjerne, mit lys, mit liv, min lyst". Den tørt knirkende sprogtone i de salmer, der skulle undervise den danske almue i den nye lære fra Wittenberg, får ikke lov at præge denne tekst. Ifølge de historiske oplysninger ved salmebogens nr. 56 skyldes salmen Hans Thomissøn, der dog bygger på en i dag ukendt dansk Mariavise. Thomissøn selv lagde ikke skjul på sin inspirationskilde, da han i 1569 gav salmen denne overskrift: "Jeg vil mig en Jomfru loffue, er en gammel Sang om Jomfru Maria, Christelige foruent Jesu Christo til loff oc ære" (Den danske Psalmebog 1569 (forkortet DdP) 39r). Endvidere opregner Thomissøn i sin salmebog denne og syv andre salmer i et særligt "Register paa de gamle Papistiske Sang, som ere Corrigeret oc rettede" (DdP Bbb1r). Det er imidlertid ikke at undres over, at nogen i eftertiden har fået ondt af den behandling, der i reformationstiden blev Mariaviserne til del.

    Die historischen Buchbestände der Stadtbibliothek Schaffhausen Hanspeter Marti, René Specht, André Weibel Bestandsgeschichte Die Stadtbibliothek Schaffhausen wurde an Ostern 1636 als Bürgerbibliothek gegründet, of- fenbar nach dem Vorbild der 1629 gegründeten Stadtbibliothek von Zürich.1 Neben der Bür- gerbibliothek gab es bereits eine theologische Fachbibliothek in der Kirche St. Johann, die Vorläuferin der heutigen Ministerialbibliothek. In der Sammlung im St. Johann hatten nach der Reformation die Reste der Bibliotheken der aufgehobenen Klöster Aufnahme gefunden. Die Intentionen der nicht namentlich bekannten Gründer der Bürgerbibliothek sind formuliert in der lateinischen praefatio zum Album publicae civium scaphusianorum bibliothecae. In diesem Buch wurden die Namen von Gönnern, gestiftete Summen und Titel von geschenk- ten Büchern eingetragen.2 Das Album ist neben den erhaltenen Büchern, den darin enthalte- nen Besitzeinträgen und Widmungen sowie wenigen anderen Zeugnissen die wichtigste Quelle für die frühe Bestandesgeschichte. Die Bürgerbibliothek sammelte auch Bilder, Mo- delle, Naturalien u. ä. Von diesem Teil der Sammlung, auf den hier nicht weiter eingegangen wird, trennte sie sich im Laufe des 19. Jhs. Eines der frühesten bekannten Buchgeschenke ist jenes von Johannes Fabricius, praecep- tor. Die Quatuor evangeliorum consonantia des Ammonius (Mainz, 1524) enthält auf dem hinteren Spiegelblatt eine vom August 1636 datierte Widmung und ist mit Autor, Titel und Namen des Schenkers im Album aufgeführt.3 Ein weiterer Schenker der

UMI 300 North Zeeb Road Ann Arbor, MI 48103 COPYRIGHT BY TERRY DALE THOMPSON 1996 ABSTRACT God's Special Way examines the relationship between Halle Pietism and the Hohenzollern monarchy in order to discern the nature and effect on Brandenburg-Prussia of that alliance. Halle Pietism was a reform movement within the Lutheran church in 17th and 18th century Germany that believed the establishment church had become too concerned with correct theology, thus they aimed at a revival of intense Biblicism, personal spirituality, and social reform. The Pietists, led by August Hermann Francke (1662-1727) , and King Friedrich Wilhelm I (rl7l3-l740) were partners in an attempt to create a Godly realm in economically strapped and politically divided Brandenburg-Prussia. In large measure the partnership produced Pietist control of Brandenburg- Prussia'a pulpits and schoolrooms, despite the opposition of another informal alliance, this between the landed nobility and the establishment Lutheran church, who hoped to maintain their own authority in the religious and political spheres.
