The Rural Reformation
The six essays in this collection explore the range of adaptations, responses, and possibilities for understanding confessional behavior in the small towns and hamlets of Europe and colonial America during the Reformation. The contributors begin with a discussion of the independence of rural communities of faith and the reality that financial support for these churches was often precarious. Congregants also proved adept at composing church orders…

Les Églises réformées et la tenue des dossiers
Les registres des consistoires des Églises réformées de France sont une source exceptionnelle autant qu’essentielle pour étudier les transformations religieuses associées à la Réforme. Il se trouve que, après avoir passé presque vingt ans à parcourir la France pour identifier et examiner ces registres, j’en suis venu à apprécier la manière dont leur forme physique et les détails de leur composition peuvent, autant sinon plus que les mots écrits s…
Penser l’histoire religieuse au xxie siècle
L’histoire est aujourd’hui très éclatée, chaque secteur ayant ses traditions, sa propre historiographie, ses références. L’histoire religieuse n’y échappe évidemment pas. Mais le pire serait que les différentes spécialisations historiques s’ignorent, alors qu’elles ont beaucoup à apprendre les unes des autres. C’est cette question qui était au cœur du colloque de la Commission Internationale d’Histoire et d’Étude du Christianisme, tenu à Lyon du …
The Global Refuge
The Sun King’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes in 1685 marks French Reformed Protestant memory more than any other single event. For those Huguenots who remained in the kingdom, the strong biblical image of worshiping secretly in the ‘wilderness’ (au désert) continues to resonate among their descendants. Indeed, the single greatest contemporary event for French Reformed Protestants is the Assemblée du Désert held each September at Le Mas Soubey…

The Deconfessionalization of the Reformations
Slave emancipation, Christian communities, and dissent in western Tanzania, 1878-1960
This dissertation explores the ways marginalized slaves and orphans came together to create new mission communities in western Tanzania. It shows that slave emancipation was a complex process that involved flight to the missions, public declarations, and certification of emancipation. Former slaves joined missions and their descendants became the first-generation Christians, and some worked as teachers, pastors and catechists. The dissertation ce…

A Companion to the Huguenots
The Huguenots are among the best known of early modern European religious minorities. Their suffering in 16th and 17th-century France is a familiar story. The flight of many Huguenots from the kingdom after 1685 conferred upon them a preeminent place in the accounts of forced religious migrations. Their history has become synonymous with repression and intolerance. At the same time, Huguenot accomplishments in France and the lands to which they f…

Fortress of the Soul
A Millennium of Family Change
How do changes in family form relate to changes in society as a whole? In a work which sets out to combine theoretical rigour with historical scope, Wally Seccombe provides a study of the changing structure of families from the Middle Ages to the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. Responding to feminist critiques of sex-blind historical materialism, Seccombe argues that family forms must be seen to be at the heart of modes of production. He …
The Persistence of "Superstition and Idolatry" among Rural French Calvinists
Within their considerable rhetorical arsenal, perhaps the favorite accusations that sixteenth-century Calvinist Reformers lodged against the medieval church and the pious conduct of its followers were those of "superstition and idolatry." Prominent leaders such as John Calvin and Theodore Beza, erudite theologians and celebrated preachers, local pastors and village elders alike stood ever ready to apply the designations to a variety of religious …
Fasting, Piety, and Political Anxiety among French Reformed Protestants
Fasting has an ancient and revered place in the many religious traditions that human communities have fostered throughout history and across the globe. In India, to take a modern example, Hindu women commonly carry out ritual fasts or vrats. Fasting, particularly in its collective forms, is also frequent and widespread among western groups that scholars have sometimes described as Abrahamic religions. Muslims annually observe Ramadan, a month of …
La Place et le rôle des femmes dans les Églises réformées
La diversité des informations concernant la condition de la femme protestante aux XVIe et XVIIe siècles explique que leur interprétation est complexe. Des historiens ont commencé par accentuer les effets positifs de la Réforme sur la condition féminine. Ensuite, les études ont conduit à des conclusions plus nuancées. Les hommes qui ont dirigé la Réforme paraissent en effet avoir contribué à renforcer le patriarcat familial et une hiérarchie socia…

Morals and Moral Regulation in Protestant France
The investigation by the consistory of the Reformed Church of Montauban of an unmarried pregnancy and attempted abortion in the sixteenth century offers important insights into moral and social relationships within the early modern European community. Though the effect of the consistory's activities on the lives of those that it sought to discipline ought not be overestimated (intrusive as those activities might be by modern standards), a close r…

Robbins presents a comprehensive history of early modern La Rochelle, one of the largest and most fractious French Protestant towns. Grounded upon a mass of local serial sources unprecedented in scope, this study reassesses the Reformation's urban impact in France, the comportment of French Protestants, the violent nature of French civic politics, and the capacity of the French crown to police effectively a rebel Atlantic port town
The Quiet Reformation
This lucid and highly readable account of the Reformation in Tudor Norwich seizes upon an important emerging issue, one which is likely to be the subject of consid- erable future discussion among scholars of religious change in the sixteenth century: were violent clashes, disruptive controversies, and deep fissures within the community the inevitable accompaniment of the Reformation?For decades, historians have been mesmerized by the movement's l…
