Taking a fresh look at the roots and implications of the enduring major historic fissure in Western Christianity, this book presents new insights into the historical dynamics of Protestant-Catholic conflict while illuminating present-day contexts and suggesting comparisons for approaching other entrenched conflicts in which religion is implicated.

Rezensionen
"This collection of essays provides a sophisticated and admirably balanced comparative analysis, equally historical and social scientific, of contentious issues constantly subject to polemical and inflammatory readings. It looks equally at times and places where conflict did occur and where it did not, it examines key events and episodes that build up mythic representations, especially the so-called 'wars of religion', it draws attention to the complex mix of factors, in particular the role of state power, it points up the role played by insecurity, and it destabilises the sweeping categories and topoi that bedevil discussion. It provides a major contribution to an issue too often subject to circular arguments and definitions." - David Martin, London School of Economics, UK
