Contrary to the historiographical commonplace "no Reformation
without print" Cultures of Communication examines media in the
early modern world through the lens of the period's religious
history. Looking beyond the emergence of print, this collection of
ground-breaking essays highlights the pivotal role of theology in
the formation of the early modern cultures of communication. The
authors assembled here urge us to understand the Reformation as a
response to the perceived crisis of religious communication in late
medieval Europe. In addition, they explore the novel demands placed
on European media ecology by the acceleration and intensification
of global interconnectedness in the early modern period. As the
Christian evangelizing impulse began to propel growing numbers of
Europeans outward to the Americas and Asia, theories and practices
of religious communication had to be reformed to accommodate an
array of new communicative constellations - across distances,
languages, cultures.
