How did state power impinge on the religion of the ordinary person?
This perennial issue has been sharpened as historians uncover the
process of 'confessionalization' or 'acculturation', by which
officials of state and Church collaborated in ambitious programs of
Protestant or Catholic reform, intended to change the religious
consciousness and the behaviour of ordinary men and women. In the
belief that specialists in one area of the globe can learn from the
questions posed by colleagues working in the same period in other
regions, this 2005 volume sets the topic in a wider framework.
Thirteen essays, grouped in themes affording parallel views of
England and Europe, Tsarist Russia, and Ming China, show a spectrum
of possibilities for what early modern governments tried to achieve
by regulating religious life, and for how religious communities
evolved in new directions, either in keeping with or in spite of
official injunctions.
