‍

The Protestant theologian Johannes Lepsius (1858–1926) was a prominent German figure in the humanitarian movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His writings on the Christian Armenian minority in the Ottoman Empire provide a powerful record of his engagement with moral-political issues and contemporary ecclesiastical developments against the backdrop of efforts to homogenize populations in multi-ethnic states. His first major publication, "Armenien und Europa – Eine Anklageschrift" (Armenia and Europe: An Indictment) (1896), documents the massacres of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. This text is now available for the first time in a critical scholarly edition, featuring detailed commentary on the text and sources, an analysis of its origins and impact, and comprehensive indices.
