In this important volume an extraordinarily incisive picture is offered to the reader. Religion and Politics in Enlightenment Europe is a fundamental work that solicits a renewed reflection on the great changes in progress in European society before the French Revolution and on the deeply dynamic role played by religion and particularly by religious dissent to facilitate passage from the Ancien Regime to the modern world. Contributors include James Bradley, James Van Horn Melton, Charles C. Noel, Wayne Te Brake, Olga Tsapina, Dale K. Van Kley, and W. R. Ward.
