Band 1 A new guide to scholarship on early
modern religion across the globeIn the midst of a global pandemic,
the Frankfurt POLY (Polycentricity and Plurality of Premodern
Christianities) Lectures on ""Pathways through Early Modern
Christianities"" brought together a virtual, global community of
scholars and students in the Spring and Summer of 2021 to discuss
the fascinating nature of early modern religious life. In this book,
twelve pathbreaking scholars from the “four corners” of the early
modern world reflect on the analytical tools that structure their
field and that they have developed, revised and embraced in their
scholarship: from generations to tolerance, from uniformity to
publicity, from accommodation to local religion, from polycentrism
to connected histories, and from identity to object agency.
Together, the chapters of this reference work help both students and
advanced researchers alike to appreciate the extent of our current
knowledge about early modern christianities in their interconnected
global context—and what exciting new travels could lie ahead. |
