Judging Faith, Punishing Sin breaks new ground by offering the
first comparative treatment of Catholic inquisitions and Calvinist
consistories, offering scholars a new framework for analysing
religious reform and social discipline in the great Christian age
of reformation. Global in scope, both institutions played critical
roles in prosecuting deviance, implementing religious uniformity,
and promoting moral discipline in the social upheaval of the
Reformation. Rooted in local archives and addressing specific
themes, the essays survey the state of scholarship and chart
directions for future inquiry and, taken as a whole, demonstrate
the unique convergence of penitential practice, legal innovation,
church authority, and state power, and how these forces transformed
Christianity. Bringing together leading scholars across four
continents, this volume is an invaluable contribution to our
understanding of religion in the early modern world. University
students and scholars alike will appreciate its clear introduction
to scholarly debates and cutting edge scholarship.
