Enthusiasm is desirable, yet dangerous. More than just affective intensity, it entails belief. Combining historical and ethnographic methods, this book explores different styles of religious enthusiasm in Modern Germany, inflected by historical traditions and social milieus, in an effort to understand the modern ambivalence toward this feeling.
