Protestant Majorities and Minorities in Early Modern Europe

Confessional Boundaries and Contested Identities. Edited by Simon J. G. Burton, Michal Choptiany & Piotr Wilczek. International RefoRC Colloquium on "Reformed Majorities and Minorities: Confessional Boundaries and Contested Identities" [Warsaw 2014].

16 contributions (one of them in German) examine the complex and dynamic role that Protestant majorities and minorities played in shaping the Reformations of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. They offer an important perspective on the range of intellectual, social, economic, political, theological and ecclesiological factors that governed intra- and inter-confessional encounter in the early modern period. While the principal focus is on the situation of different Protestant majority and minority groups, many of the contributions also engage the relation of Protestants and Catholics, with a number also considering early modern Christian dialogue with Muslims and Jews. The volume is organised into five sections, which together provide a comprehensive picture of Protestant majorities and minorities: I. Intellectual Culture and Confessional Freedom; II. Clandestine Reformation; III. Refugee Reformation; IV. Marginal Reformation; V. Confessional Identity and Otherness. Including contributions by Gábor Ittzés, Alessandra Celati, Simon J.G.
