Recent decades have witnessed the fragmentation of Reformation
studies, with high-level research confined within specific
geographical, confessional or chronological boundaries. By bringing
together scholars working on a wide variety of topics, this volume
counteracts this centrifugal trend and provides a broad perspective
on the impact of the European reformation. The essays present new
research from historians of politics, of the church and of belief.
Their geographical scope ranges from Scotland and England via
France and Germany to Transylvania and their chronological span
from the 1520s to the 1690s Considering the impact of the
Reformation on political culture and examining the relationship
between rulers and ruled; the book also examines the church and its
personnel, another sphere of life that was entirely transformed by
the Reformation. Important aspects of knowledge and belief are
discussed in terms of scientific knowledge and technological
progress, juxtaposed with analyses of elite and popular belief,
which demonstrates the limitations of Weber's notion of the
disenchantment of the world. Together they indicate the diverse
directions in which Reformation scholarship is now moving, while
reminding us of the need to understand particular developments
within a broader European context; demonstrating that movements for
religious reform left no sphere of European life untouched.
