The focus of this collection is the nature of religious change over
more than two centuries, here examined by some of the leading
scholars in the field, in tribute to John McManners on his
eightieth birthday. Ranging across Europe (with a particular
emphasis on France and Britain), readers will find essays which
survey individual responses to crises in the religious life of the
state, discuss contacts between communions, note changing patterns
of worship and devotions, and explore the ways in which religion
(and the lessons of the past) can offer help or consolation in the
conduct of life. Some contributors deal with the close, often
tense, links between religion, churchmen, and the formation and
evolving character of the state; others consider the survival and
adaptability of minority groups such as eighteenth-century monks,
or British Jews, in response to external considerations. In all the
contributions, the interaction of private and public life is a
strong feature, a reflection of its own importance in Professor
McManners' own writings.
