Riassunto

With the aim to write the history of Christianity in Scandinavia with Jerusalem as a lens, this book investigates the image – or rather the imagination – of Jerusalem in the religious, political, and artistic cultures of Scandinavia through most of the second millennium. Jerusalem is conceived as a code, in this volume focussing on Jerusalem's impact on Protestantism and Christianity in Early Modern Scandinavia.

Volume 2: The Chosen People Christian Cultures in Early Modern Scandinavia (1536–ca. 1750)
Volume 3: The Promised Land Christian Cultures in Modern Scandinavia (ca. 1750–ca. 1920)

Dalla quarta di copertina

This volume studies the transformation of the Jerusalem code during the aftermath of the Protestant reformation in sixteenth-century Scandinavia. Now, the paradigm of justification by faith legitimated both holiness and authority, and determined who were the chosen people of God. This book observes the effects of the reformation through perceptions of Jerusalem in visual art, maps, city plans, sermons, poetry, hymns, historiography, and other material. Part 1 investigates how the Jerusalem code still provided political leaders with models of authority and strategies of legitimation. Part 2 examines the reorientation and transformation of historiography and sacred geography in the wake of the reformation. Part 3 explores the Jerusalem code as a tool to explain history and to discipline the chosen people. Part 4 analyzes representations of Heavenly Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem in the seventeenth century.
