At first sight, the subjects of piety and family life may appear to
have little in common. Yet, as the essays in this volume make
clear, there are in fact a number of shared features and points of
contact that make the study of these issues a particularly fertile
area for scholars of the Reformation period. Whether it be the
concept of an individual's relationship with God - so often
articulated in familial terms, the place of domestic devotions, or
the difficulties that faced families split by rival confessional
beliefs and mixed marriages, this book demonstrates how piety and
family life were interwoven in the social and theological landscape
of early modern Europe. Inspired by the works of Steven Ozment, the
volume is divided into two sections, each of which deals with a
particular concern of his writings. The first four chapters address
issues of Reformation theology and the medieval heritage, whilst
the remaining seven examine the spiritual life of families.
Together they underline how modern scholarship by broadening its
conceptual outlook and bringing together seemingly unrelated
subjects, can provide a more sophisticated understanding of the
past.

This book is a study of Catholic reform, popular Catholicism and
the development of confessional identity in southwest Germany.
Based on extensive archival study, it argues that Catholic
confessional identity developed primarily from the identification
of villagers and townspeople with the practices of Baroque
Catholicism - particularly pilgrimages, processions,
confraternities and the Mass. Thus the book is in part a critique
of the confessionalization thesis which dominates scholarship in
this field. The book is not however focused narrowly on the
concerns of German historians. An analysis of popular religious
practice and of the relationship between parishioners and the
clergy in villages and small towns allows for a broader
understanding of popular Catholicism, especially in the period
after 1650. Local Baroque Catholicism was ultimately a successful
convergence of popular and elite, lay and clerical elements, which
led to an increasingly elaborate religious style.
This book seeks to explain the origins of the Catholic identity of the population of southwest Germany between 1550 and 1750. Many studies of this subject credit rulers and church leaders with creating and enforcing religious identity in Germany "from above." In contrast, this study argues that there were important local and religious reasons why people came to consider themselves loyal Catholics; and in order to understand the origins of Catholic identity, it examines the nature of "Baroque Catholicism"--including the significance of pilgrimages, processions, confraternities, and other religious ceremonies.
