This book considers the emergence of a remarkable diversity of
churches in east-central Europe between the 16th and 18th
centuries, which included Catholic, Orthodox, Hussite, Lutheran,
Bohemian Brethren, Calvinist, anti-Trinitarian and Greek Catholic
communities. Contributors assess the extraordinary multiplicity of
confessions in the Transylvanian principality, as well as the range
of churches in Poland, Bohemia, Moravia and Hungary. Essays focus
on how each church sought to establish its own identity in a
crowded market-place of religious ideas, and on the extent to which
printed literature brokered the popular reception of religious
doctrine. The volume addresses how ideas about religion spread
within the largely illiterate societies of east-central Europe,
especially through catechisms, and how printed literature was used
to instruct congregations about doctrinal truth, to encourage the
faithful to pious devotions, and to shape the religious life and
identity of local communities.
