The conference focuses on the potential for conflicts and developments in-cluded in the field of religion in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Specifically, the conference considers the so-called „Revival Movements“ that attempted the theological self-empowerment of Christian laymen and laywomen. Defying the resistance of the academic theology and traditional churches, those movements – also called „pietism“ – have spread transnationally since the 19th century.
