The Protestant and Catholic Reformations thrust the nature of
conversion into the center of debate and politicking over religion
as authorities and subjects imbued religious confession with novel
meanings during the early modern era. The volume offers insights
into the historicity of the very concept of "conversion." One
widely accepted modern notion of the phenomenon simply expresses
denominational change. Yet this concept had no bearing at the
outset of the Reformation. Instead, a variety of processes, such as
the consolidation of territories along confessional lines, attempts
to ensure civic concord, and diplomatic quarrels helped to usher in
new ideas about the nature of religious boundaries and, therefore,
conversion. However conceptualized, religious change-
conversion-had deep social and political implications for early
modern German states and societies.
