Several decades of cultural and inter-disciplinary scholarship have yielded, and continue to yield, new insights into the diversity of religious experience in Europe from the fifteenth through the seventeenth centuries. Revisionist approaches to humanism and humanists have led to a re-evaluation of the framing of belief; the boundaries between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam are seen to be more fluid and porous; a keen interest in devotion and materiality has lent new voice to 'subaltern' elements in society; sermon studies has emerged as a distinct discipline and a preacher's omissions are now understood to be often more telling than what was said; under the influence of the 'spatial turn' art and architectural history is generating new understandings of how belief and devotion translated into material culture; the emphasis in defining early modern Catholic culture and identity has moved from emphasizing reactions to Protestantism towards exploring roots and forms in fifteenth century reform movements; globalization, mass migration and issues surrounding social inclusion have re-positioned our understanding of reform in the late medieval and early modern period. The essays in this volume reflect these historiographical and methodological developments and are organized according to four themes: Negotiating Boundaries, Modelling Spirituality, Sense and Emotion, and Space and Form. This organization underscores how analysis of religious life clarifies the questions that are at the core of Renaissance studies today.

La religion des Romains a mauvaise réputation. Comparée aux religions universelles dites du Livre, elle paraît dénuée d'intérêt. Ignorant l'idée de révélation, dépourvue de croyances et de dogmes, elle ne se compose que de rites et d'obligations rituelles. C'est précisément ce ritualisme volontiers prosaïque qui a longtemps été mal compris, voire méprisé. Or rites et sacrifices peuvent manifester une pensée théologique ou philosophique implicite : ils mettent en scène les hiérarchies qui existent dans ce monde-ci et dans l'au-delà, entre les hommes et les dieux, entre les dieux eux-mêmes, et entre leurs partenaires humains. Ainsi, la découpe d'un boeuf, l'ordre de distribution des parts de viande, ou même la manière de les consommer en disent long sur les relations entre les dieux et les humains. C'est ce que montre John Scheid, à travers l'analyse de certains sacrifices pratiqués à Rome entre le IIe siècle avant notre ère et le IIIe siècle après J.-C. : celui de la confrérie religieuse des frères arvales, ceux des Jeux séculaires, les prescriptions sacrificielles de Caton le censeur, et enfin les sacrifices funéraires. Ces actes sacrificiels, dont l'exécution laisse libre cours à une floraison d'interprétations et de croyances, attestent du problème du sens dans une religion sans foi.
