In connection with the transition of the Kingdom of Denmark from an absolutist to a constitutional monarchy in 1848, a fundamental modernisation of the administration took place at the central level. The collegial authorities that had emerged in the 16th and 17th centuries, such as the Danish Chancellery, the Schleswig-Holstein-Lauenburg Chancellery (German Chancellery) or the Chamber of Pensions, were now replaced by ministries. The new central authorities were headed by ministers who were responsible to the Reichstag. The National Archives hold only a small amount of archival material from the Danish ministries. The bulk of the archival records of the authorities listed in this finding aid are held in the Danish National Archives in Copenhagen. Only a few files of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of the Navy can be found in the holdings of section 77. The main focus is on the records of the Ministry of Finance. Its archival records on customs mainly concern matters in Holstein and Lauenburg, but also in Lübeck; the archival records on domains and on forestry and hunting, on the other hand, relate without exception to the Duchy of Schleswig.

How are spiritual power and self-transformation cultivated in street ministries? In Addicted to Christ, Helena Hansen provides an in-depth analysis of Pentecostal ministries in Puerto Rico that were founded and run by self-identified "ex-addicts," ministries that are also widespread in poor Black and Latino neighborhoods in the U.S. mainland. Richly ethnographic, the book harmoniously melds Hansen's dual expertise in cultural anthropology and psychiatry. Through the stories of ministry converts, she examines key elements of Pentecostalism: mysticism, ascetic practice, and the idea of other-worldliness. She then reconstructs the ministries' strategies of spiritual victory over addiction: transformation techniques to build spiritual strength and authority through pain and discipline; cultivation of alternative masculinities based on male converts' reclamation of domestic space; and radical rupture from a post-industrial "culture of disposability." By contrasting the ministries' logic of addiction with that of biomedicine, Hansen rethinks roads to recovery, discovering unexpected convergences with biomedicine while revealing the allure of street corner ministries.

In postapartheid Cape Town - Africa's gay capital - many Pentecostal men turned to "ex-gay" ministries in hopes of "curing" their homosexuality in order to conform to conservative Christian values and African social norms. In this book the author traces the experiences of predominantly white ex-gay men as they attempt to forge a heterosexual masculinity and enter into heterosexual marriage through emotional, bodily, and religious work. These men subjected themselves to daily self-surveillance and followed prescribed behaviors such as changing how they talked and walked. Ex-gay men also saw themselves as participating in the redemption of the nation, because South African society was perceived as suffering from a crisis of masculinity in which the country lacked enough moral heterosexual men. By tying the experience of ex-gay men to the convergence of social movements and public debates surrounding race, violence, religion, and masculinity in South Africa, the author offers insights into the construction of personal identities in the context of sexuality and spirituality.
