While the French Revolution has been much discussed and studied,
its impact on religious life in France is rather neglected. Yet,
during this brief period, religion underwent great changes that
affected everyone: clergy and laypeople, men and women, Catholics,
Protestants and Jews. The "Reigns of Terror" of the Revolution
drove the Church underground, permanently altering the relationship
between Church and State. In this book, Nigel Aston offers a guide
to these tumultuous events. While the structures and beliefs of the
Catholic Church are central, it does not neglect minority groups
like Protestants and Jews. Among other features, the book discusses
the Constitutional Church, the end of state support for
Catholicism, the "Dechristianization" campaign and the Concordat of
1801-2. Key themes discussed include the capacity of all the
Churches for survival and adaptation, the role of religion in
determining political allegiances during the Revolution, and the
turbulence of Church-State relations. In this study, based on the
latest evidence, Aston sheds new light on a dynamic period in
European history and its impact on the next 200 years of religious
life in France.
