Current scholarship continues to emphasise both the importance and
the sheer diversity of religious beliefs within early modern
societies. Furthermore, it continues to show that, despite the
wishes of secular and religious leaders, confessional uniformity
was in many cases impossible to enforce. As the essays in this
collection make clear, many people in Reformation Europe were
forced to confront the reality of divided religious loyalties, and
this raised issues such as the means of accommodating religious
minorities who refused to conform and the methods of living in
communion with those of different faiths. Drawing together a number
of case studies from diverse parts of Europe, Living with Religious
Diversity in Early Modern Europe explores the processes involved
when groups of differing confessions had to live in close proximity
- sometimes grudgingly, but often with a benign pragmatism that
stood in opposition to the will of their rulers. By focussing on
these themes, the volume bridges the gap between our understanding
of the confessional developments as they were conceived as
normative visions and religious culture at the level of
implementation. The contributions thus measure the religious
policies articulated by secular and ecclesiastical elites against
the 'lived experience' of people going about their daily business.
In doing this, the collection shows how people perceived and
experienced the religious upheavals of the confessional age and how
they were able to assimilate these changes within the framework of
their lives.
