The aim of this collection of essays is to bring together new
comparative research studies on the place and role of the Bible in
early modern Europe. It focuses on lay readings of the Bible,
interrogating established historical, social, and confessional
paradigms. It highlights the ongoing process of negotiation between
the faithful congregation and ecclesiastical institutions, in both
Protestant and Catholic countries. It shows how, even in the
latter, where biblical translations were eventually forbidden, the
laity drew upon the Bible as a source of ethical, cultural, and
spiritual inspiration, contributing to the evolution of central
aspects of modernity. Interpreting the Bible could indeed be a
means of feeding critical perspectives and independent thought and
behavior. Contributors: Erminia Ardissino, Xavier Bisaro, Elise
Boillet, Gordon Campbell, Jean-Pierre Cavaille, Sabrina Corbellini,
Francois Dupuigrenet Desroussilles, Max Engammare, Wim Francois,
Ignacio J. Garcia Pinilla, Stefano Gattei, Margriet Hoogvliet,
Tadhg O hAnnrachain, and Concetta Pennuto.
