Religious beliefs, their practice and expression, were fundamental
to the cultural fabric of early modern Europe. They were
representations of belonging, identity, power and social meaning.
In the era of Europe's reformations and subsequent
confessionalizations coinciding with its first colonial empires and
its conflictual relations with other faiths on its eastern
borderlands, this volume, first published in 2007, examines the
role of religion as a vehicle for cultural conflict, cohabitation
and cultural exchange. Essays by leading historians show the
complexity and diversity of the processes of religious
differentiation that contributed to the making of modern Europe,
with case studies ranging from Transylvania and Lithuania to Spain
and Portugal and from Italy to England. The volume will appeal to
scholars in early modern European history, history of religion, as
well as social and cultural history.
