Produktbeschreibung

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.
