For ordinary people, the impact of the Reformation would have
centred around local parish churches, rather than the theological
debates of the Reformers. Focusing on the Calvinists, this volume
explores how the architecture, appearance and arrangement of places
of worship were transformed by new theology and religious practice.
Based on original research and site visits, this book charts the
impact of the Reformed faith across Europe, concentrating in
particular on France, the Netherlands and Scotland. While in some
areas a Calvinist Reformation led to the adaptation of existing
buildings, elsewhere it resulted in the construction of new places
of worship to innovative new designs. Reformed places of worship
also reflected local considerations, vested interests and civic
aspirations, often employing the latest styles and forms of
decoration, and here provide a lens through which to examine not
only the impact of the Reformation at a local level but also the
character of the different religious settlements across Europe
during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. -- .
