The "Awakening" was the last major Protestant reform and revival movement to occur in Germany. This book examines the Awakening as a product of the larger social changes that were re-shaping German society during the early decades of the nineteenth century. Awakened Protestants were traditionalists who rejected the changes that Enlightenment thought had introduced into Protestant theology and preaching. But, Kloes argues, their efforts to spread their religiousbeliefs were only successful because of the new political freedoms and economic opportunities that the Enlightenment had introduced.
