The rise of atheism and unbelief is a key feature in the
development of the modern world, yet it is a topic which has been
little explored by historians. This book presents a series of
studies of irreligious ideas in various parts of Europe during the
two centuries following the Reformation. Atheism was everywhere
illegal in this period. The word itself first entered the
vernacular languages soon after the Reformation, but it was not
until the eighteenth century that the first systematic defences of
unbelief began to appear in print. Its history in the intervening
years is significant but problematic and hitherto obscure. The
leading scholars who have contributed to this volume offer a range
of approaches and draw on a wide variety of sources to produce a
scholarly, original, and fascinating book. Atheism from the
Reformation to the Enlightenment will be essential reading for all
concerned with the religious, intellectual, and social history of
early modern Europe.
