The Light In The Prison Window: The Life Story Of Hans Nielsen Hauge is a biographical book written by Wilhelm Pettersen. The book tells the story of Hans Nielsen Hauge, a Norwegian farmer and lay preacher who played a significant role in the religious revival movement of the early 19th century in Norway. Hauge was born in 1771 and grew up in a devout Christian family. He experienced a profound religious awakening in his early twenties and began to preach and spread his message across Norway. However, his activities were seen as a threat by the established Lutheran Church and he was arrested and imprisoned several times. Despite this, Hauge continued to preach and write, and his influence on Norwegian society was significant. The book provides a detailed account of Hauge's life, his religious beliefs, and his impact on Norwegian history. It also explores the social and political context of Norway during Hauge's time, including the tensions between the Lutheran Church and the emerging religious movements. Overall, The Light In The Prison Window is a fascinating and informative read for anyone interested in Norwegian history, religious studies, or biographical literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
