Produktbeschreibung
Church discipline and the Reformed consistory, whether in Hungary, the Swiss world, France, The Netherlands or the British Isles, have become the subject of intense scholarly discussion. The fifteen essays gathered in this volume examine the process of censure and excommunication across Europe from the mid-sixteenth through the late eighteenth centuries. They reevaluate the relationship of women to ecclesiastical authority and explore the complex ways in which exclusion from the Lord s Supper operated. Several contributors trace the decrease in excommunication over time; others underscore national differences in its nature and the surprising infrequency of application. Together, they offer a fresh, unanticipated and illuminating portrait of the reform of morals associated with John Calvin and his followers. Les disciplines eccl siastiques et les consistoire r form s aussi bien en Hongrie, que dans le monde Suisse, la France, les Pays-Bas ou les les britanniques, ont fait l'objet d'intenses d bats universitaires. Les quinze textes r unis dans ce volume examinent les processus de censure et d'excommunication pratiqu s dans toute l'Europe depuis le milieu du XVIe si cle jusqu' la fin du XVIIIe si cle. Ils r examinent les positions des femmes face l'autorit eccl siastique et explorent les diff rentes mani res de concevoir et d'appliquer l'exclusion de la C ne. Plusieurs contributeurs d crivent la diminution de la pratique de l'excommunication au fil du temps, d'autres soulignent les diff rences nationales dans sa nature et les surprenantes variations de son application. Tous offrent un nouveau portrait, inattendu et clairant, de la r forme de la morale associ e Jean Calvin et ses successeurs. Contributors are Edwin Bezzina, Serge Brunet, Philippe Chareyre, Christian Grosse, Robert M. Kingdon, Suzannah Lipscomb, Michelle Magdelaine, Fran oise Moreil, Graeme Murdock, Judith Pollmann, Didier Poton, Salomon Rizzo, Andrew Spicer, Karen Spierling, Nicole Staremberg Goy, and Margo Todd.
