Early modern Central Europe was the continent's most decentralized
region politically and its most diverse ethnically and culturally.
With the onset of the Reformation, it also became Europe's most
religiously divided territory and potentially its most explosive in
terms of confessional conflict and war. Focusing on the Holy Roman
Empire and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, this volume examines
the tremendous challenge of managing confessional diversity in
Central Europe between 1500 and 1800. Addressing issues of
tolerance, intolerance, and ecumenism, each chapter explores a
facet of the complex dynamic between the state and the region's
Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Utraquist, and Jewish communities.
The development of religious toleration-one of the most debated
questions of the early modern period-is examined here afresh, with
careful consideration of the factors and conditions that led to
both confessional concord and religious violence.
