At first sight, the subjects of piety and family life may appear to have little in common. Yet, as the essays in this volume make clear, there are in fact a number of shared features and points of contact that make the study of these issues a particularly fertile area for scholars of the Reformation period. This book demonstrates how piety and family life were interwoven in the social and theological landscape of early modern Europe.
