Summary
It is especially true of Germany that its tradition as a corporatist social security state with dual welfare services cannot be understood without considering the religious factor. Integrating the approaches of conceptual history and the sociology of knowledge, the authors of the studies contained in this volume examine the relationship between religious figures and the central ideas of welfare statehood in Germany since the German Empire.
