Abstract

This highly significant volume, the fourth in a series of six, provides a history of Christian theology from 1600, the terminus a quo of the project. The significance of this admittedly arbitrary date lies in the fact that it marks the beginning of a century when the Catholic and Protestant churches were faced with the reality of disunity. In the period up to 1750, following the deaths of the principal Protestant reformers, Western Christianity was engaged in a profound transformation. As Europe effectively divided along denominational lines, the churches responded by defining their new theological, pastoral, doctrinal, and spiritual identities. Church leaders were simultaneously obliged to address internal conflicts from Jansenism in Catholicism to Pietism in Lutheranism. In their assessment of the metamorphoses occurring in the Christian institutions as well as in the faith of individual Christians, the volume’s editors, Daniel-Odon Hurel and Maria-Cristina Pitassi fixed the terminus ad quem of the work at 1750. They acknowledge that significant societal transformations had occurred due to the evolution of intellectual and social parameters up to the first half of the eighteenth century. In order to follow these evolutions, the volume offers a three-step journey across the confessional traditions that
