Synopsis

A Narrative Of The Conversion And Death Of Count Struensee. Translated. By The Rev. Mr. Wendeborn. With An Introduction And Notes By Thomas Rennell. Second Edition by Balthasar Münter. This volume presents the account of the Danish Count Struensee’s conversion from scepticism to Christianity, documented through Dr. Munter’s conferences with him while imprisoned in Copenhagen, and edited by Rennell. The Introduction situates the transformation as a remarkable moral and theological drama, emphasizing Munter’s role as a devout theologian and minister who gently challenged the Count’s infidelity and guided him toward faith. The book intertwines Munter’s journals of the interviews with Struensee’s own confession and letters, and culminates in the Count’s death, accompanied by his penitence and a public profession of Christian belief. It also includes the Count’s own post-conversion account of how his views changed, and letters to his family. As a historical religious biography, the work functions as both documentary record and pastoral example of late-life conversion and forgiveness.
