Description

Explore the complex history of religious resistance in Central Europe with Turning Prayers into Protests. Published by Central European University Press, this comparative study examines grassroots religious activity in Slovakia and East Germany before 1989. In the societies that transitioned to communism after the Second World War, religion served as a foundation for culture, social organization, kinship, and ritual. Because of this influence, religious institutions became a primary concern for communist regimes. This book investigates how these states targeted religious life and the specific ways different churches responded to state socialist rule. Readers will gain a deep understanding of the divergent roles played by the Catholic Church in Slovakia and the Lutheran Church in East Germany. By analyzing how these institutions functioned under pressure, the text provides a clear look at their impact on the eventual dismantling of communist power. This work is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the history of Europe, the role of faith in politics, and the struggle against state control.
