However, religion and religious actors actually played crucial roles in the history of the Kaiserreich, a fact that becomes particularly evident when viewed through a transnational lens. In this volume, leading scholars of sociology, religious studies, and history study the interplay of secular and religious worldviews beyond the simple interrelation of practices and ideas. By exploring secular perspectives, belief systems, and rituals in a transnational context, they provide new ways of understanding how the borders between Imperial Germany's secular and religious spheres were continually made and remade"-- Provided by publisher Analysis German Kaiserreich, Religion in Imperial Germany, Imperial German Society, Religion and Society, Germany Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on April 23, 2019) Subject Transnationalism.
