Christopher Clark's peer reviewed article in The Historical Journal examines King Frederick William III's 1817 to 1840 campaign to enforce the Prussian Union of Lutheran and Reformed churches, tracing the decrees, fines, imprisonments and confiscated churches used against Old Lutheran pastors who refused the merger, and arguing that Prussian law and enforcement ultimately could not fully suppress the confessional resistance it provoked.
