He has published many important books on the social history of religion. His recent work, Luthergedächtnis 1817 bis 2017 (“Luther Commemoration from 1817 until 2017”) (Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, Göttingen, 2012), has attracted considerable attention for its discussion of the public memory of Martin Luther as a history of political appropriations.
