Religious War and Religious Peace in Early Modern Europe presents a
novel account of the origins of religious pluralism in Europe.
Combining comparative historical analysis with contentious
political analysis, it surveys six clusters of increasingly
destructive religious wars between 1529 and 1651, analyzes the
diverse settlements that brought these wars to an end, and
describes the complex religious peace that emerged from two
centuries of experimentation in accommodating religious
differences. Rejecting the older authoritarian interpretations of
the age of religious wars, the author uses traditional documentary
sources as well as photographic evidence to show how a broad range
Europeans - from authoritative elites to a colorful array of
religious 'dissenters' - replaced the cultural 'unity and purity'
of late-medieval Christendom with a variable and durable pattern of
religious diversity, deeply embedded in political, legal, and
cultural institutions.
