Redefining the Sacred - Religion in the French and Russian Revolutions (Paperback, New edition)

The revolutions of 1789 and 1917 were defining moments for
religious history in France, Russia, and even in Europe as a whole.
Drawing on the self-portrayals of some of the most radical actors,
historians have presented revolutionaries as enemies of the church,
and men of the church either as counter-revolutionaries or as
victims of revolution. Revolution and religion have appeared as
antagonistic forces, representing the struggle of modernity against
tradition. Only recently have these conventional patterns of
interpretation been questioned. Historians explore the religious
origins of revolutions, look at clergymen and churches as
revolutionary actors and analyze how revolutionary movements
appropriate religious patterns of thought and behavior. In the
French and in the Russian context, revolutions are seen as moments
in which the sacred was redefined.
