The religious refugee first emerged as a mass phenomenon in the
late fifteenth century. Over the following two and a half
centuries, millions of Jews, Muslims, and Christians were forced
from their homes and into temporary or permanent exile. Their
migrations across Europe and around the globe shaped the early
modern world and profoundly affected literature, art, and culture.
Economic and political factors drove many expulsions, but religion
was the factor most commonly used to justify them. This was also
the period of religious revival known as the Reformation. This book
explores how reformers' ambitions to purify individuals and society
fueled movements to purge ideas, objects, and people considered
religiously alien or spiritually contagious. It aims to explain
religious ideas and movements of the Reformation in nontechnical
and comparative language.
