The Genesis of German Conservatism
Although Conservative parties did not exist in Germany until after the Napoleonic Wars, there did emerge, around 1770, traceable organized political activity and intellectual currents of a clearly Conservative character.

Translation techniques employed by Wieland's contemporaries are also discussed here, as well as Horace's reception during the period, and the tensions between originality and imitation, and between ancient hexameter and modern metres.
Staat und Religion, Kirche und Politik
Rudolf Dellsperger wirkte über 20 Jahre als Ordinarius für Kirchen und Theologiegeschichte an der Berner evangelisch-heologischen Fakultät. Seine im Band versammelten Aufsätze widmen sich den Themen von Reformation und Täufertum, Pietismus und Erweckungsbewegung sowie Liberalismus und kirchlichem Richtungswesen – in Bern und der Schweiz, aber auch in ihren internationalen Bezügen. Dabei kommen auch Lebenswelten zur Sprache, die lange ausserhalb der etablierten religiösen Landschaften der Schweiz lagen, wie die Geschichte des Judentums oder die Emanzipation von Frauen im Pietismus. Die Festgabe zum 80. Geburtstag bündelt 14 Aufsätze und 21 Essays aus über dreissig Jahren wissenschaftlicher Publikationstätigkeit Rudolf Dellspergers.
