Par ses thèses sur le recrutement des réguliers (hommes et femmes) et sur les rapports entre ceux-ci et la société de leur temps, en Bourgogne et en Champagne (fin 16e - fin 18e siècles), parues respectivement en 1988 (Vocation et Fidélité) et en 1999 (Religion et Société), Dominique Dinet est devenu un spécialiste reconnu d'histoire religieuse. Si plusieurs articles de ce recueil complètent ses investigations sur les moines et les moniales, qu'il a fortement remis en valeur pour la période « moderne », d'autres textes renouvellent notre connaissance du clergé séculier, des mentalités et des spiritualités religieuses (des humbles comme des élites), de la culture et des institutions ecclésiastiques, de leurs rapports à l'État et à la société d'Ancien Régime, marquée par une liaison étroite entre le civil et le religieux. De la sorte, dans une démarche qui est toujours celle de l'historien, nous sommes bien « Au cœur religieux de l'époque moderne », comme l'avait envisagé Lucien Febvre pour le xvie siècle.

"This book challenges the adequacy of identifying religious identity with confessional identity. The Reformation complicated the issue of religious identity, especially among Christians for whom confessional violence at home and religious wars on the continent had made the darkness of confessionalization visible. Robert E. Stillman explores the identity of "Christians without names," as well as their agency as cultural actors in order to recover their consequence for early modern religious, political, and poetic history. Stillman argues that questions of religious identity have dominated historical and literary studies of the early modern period for over a decade. But his aim is not to resolve the controversies about early modern religious identity by negotiating new definitions of English Protestants, Catholics, or "moderate" and "radical" Puritans. Instead, he provides an understanding of the culture that produced such a heterogeneous range of believers by attending to particular figures, such as Antonio del Corro, John Harington, Henry Constable, and Aemilia Lanyer, who defined their pious identity by refusing to assume a partisan label for themselves. All of the figures in this study attempted as Christians to situate themselves beyond, between, or against particular confessions for reasons that both foreground pious motivations and inspire critical scrutiny. The desire to move beyond confessions enabled the birth of new political rhetorics promising inclusivity for the full range of England's Christians and gained special prominence in the pursuit of a still-imaginary Great Britain. Christian Identity, Piety, and Politics in Early Modern England is a book that early modern literary scholars need to read. It will also interest students and scholars of history and religion"--

In The Complexity of Hispanic Religious Life in the 16th-18th Centuries, Doris Moreno has assembled a team of leading scholars to discuss and analyze the diversity of Hispanic religious and cultural life in the Early Modern Age. Using primary sources to look beyond the Spanish Black Legend and present new perspectives, this book explores the realities of a changing and plural Catholicism through the lens of crucial topics such as the Society of Jesus, the Inquisition, the Martyrdom, the feminine visions and conversion medicine. This volume will be an essential resource to all those with an interest in the knowledge of multiple expressions of tolerance and cultural dialectic between Spain and the Americas.

In early modern Europe, ideas about nature, God, demons and occult forces were inextricably connected and much ink and blood was spilled in arguments over the characteristics and boundaries of nature and the supernatural. Seitz uses records of Inquisition witchcraft trials in Venice to uncover how individuals across society, from servants to aristocrats, understood these two fundamental categories. Others have examined this issue from the points of view of religious history, the history of science and medicine, or the history of witchcraft alone, but this work brings these sub-fields together to illuminate comprehensively the complex forces shaping early modern beliefs.
