Description :
Bo Giertz wrote Faith Alone in 1943. It is a prequel to his better-known novel,
The Hammer of God. The novel begins in 1540 and ends in 1543, during
which time the largest peasant revolt in the history of Scandinavia occurred
under the leadership of Nils Dacke. The Dacke Rebellion, as it is known,
started in the county of Sm&#229lan but bled over into the Ydre district on
&#214steg&#246tlad's southern border with Sm&#229lan.The plot follows the
story of two brothers, Anders and Martin. It was the wish of their mother that
these two brothers would become priests in the Catholic Church, and so they
were both sent to study for the priesthood in the town of Link&#246pin,
Sweden, when they were quite young. It was at this time that the Reformation
began in Germany, and Sweden fought for independence from Denmark,
breaking the Kalmar Union. German mercenaries hired by King Gustav Vasa
to fight Danish troops brought Reformation literature with them. So, Martin
became a Lutheran and left for Stockholm to work for King Gustav Vasa as a
scrivener. His brother Anders continued with his studies and became a
Catholic priest.When the king has to pay his debt to Lubeck for the
mercenaries he hired for the war, he confiscates the church's land, bells,
silver, and gold to do so. With this he firmly declares his cause with the
Reformation doctrine of Martin Luther. However, the people of Sm&#229lan
are fond of Roman Catholicism and chafe at Lubeck's measures. So, they
rebelled. Anders takes up with their cause and joins with Nils Dacke and his
men. Martin stays with the king, before becoming disillusioned and falling in
with a group of Schw&#228rmeei, or pre-Pentecostal legalists. As the war
comes to an end both brothers are brought back to the Reformation faith
through the patient shepherding of a Lutheran priest named Peder.This is Bo
Giertz's masterpiece-written with the doctrinal clarity and purpose of G.K.
Chesterton and C.S. Lewis, the historical acumen of Bernard Cornwell, and
the psychological insight of Kafka. The result is a Scandinavian Noir that cuts
open the soul and lays it at the foot of the cross.
