Description

Suicide murders - i.e., killings in order to be executed - were alarmingly frequent in eighteenth-century Lutheran Europe. The book traces the murderers motives an investigation that leads to the Pietist care for death convicts, into central elements of Lutheran soteriology and to the idea of capital punishment as being divinely ordained. At dræbe nogen alene for at blive henrettet!. Sådanne mord var alarmerende hyppige i 1700-tallets lutherske Europa. Bogen eftersporer mordernes motiver - en undersøgelse der fører til den pietistiske omsorg for dødsdømte, til centrale dele af den lutherske frelseforståelse og til forestillingen om, at dødsstraffene var direkte beordrede af Gud. Review "[S]ei festgehalten, dass Tyge Krogh mit dem vorliegenden Buch eine anregende, gut strukturierte Studie vorlegt, die eine wichtige Ergänzung und Bereicherung für die historische Kriminalitätsforschung und Suizidforschung darstellt. Nicht zuletzt kann die Lektüre als Inspiration für weiterführende Untersuchungen, vor allem über den katholischen Raum, gesehen werden." - Evelyne Luef, in: Recensio.net (Frühneuzeit-Info) 24 (2013), pp. 104-105 "Tyge Krogh has provided an interesting and useful study, based primarily on Danish court records, that is the first book-length analysis of suicidal murders. [He has] written the most complete and compelling analysis thus far of the perplexing early modern phenomenon of suicide murders." - Jeffrey R. Watts, in: Church History and Religious Culture 93/1 (2013), pp. 147-148 [DOI: 10.1163/18712428-13930121] "[A] valuable study that will remain the standard work on suicide murder for years to come." - Pieter Spierenburg, in: Historisk Tidsskrift 112 (2012), pp. 612-615 "Tyge Krogh [har] med denne bog begået et glimrende og ganske læseværdigt studie af et noget gruopvækkende emne. Det internationale perspektiv understreger Kroghs analyser af det danske materiale på en ganske overbevisende og skarpsindig måde og gør at bogen appellerer til internationale forskningskredse." - Michael Nobel Jakobsen, in: 1066 Tidsskrift for historie 42/3 (2012), pp. 60-63 "Kroghs fornemme studie står stærkt med sine stramt fremlagte resultater og velargumenterede konklusioner. Bogen er forbilledligt kortfattet, men man fornemmer alligevel det store - og i dansk sammenhæng tematisk enestående - arbejde, der ligger bag." - Af Ulrik Langen, in: Weekendavisen 12 (23 March 2012), p. 7 About the Author Tyge Krogh, PhD (1991) Dr. Phil. (2000) in History, University of Copenhagen, is senior researcher at the Danish National Archives. He has published on Danish early modern cultural and criminal history including Oplysningstiden og det magiske.
