Hauptthema dieser Untersuchung sind die theologischen Auseinandersetzungen im Berliner Refuge Ende des 17.Jahrhunderts und die Bemuhungen der Orthodoxen, den aufklarerischen Stroemungen Einhalt zu gebieten. Sie gewahrt auch einen Blick in den Alltag der Kolonie und die Religionspolitik der Hohenzollern.
