Abstract

Many historians have attempted to understand the violent religious conflicts of the seventeenth century from viewpoints dominated by concepts of class, gender, and demography. But few studies have explored the cultural process whereby religious symbolism created social cohesion and political allegiance. This book examines religious conflict in the parish communities of early modern England using an interdisciplinary approach that includes all these perspectives. Daniel Beaver studies the urban parish of Tewkesbury and six rural parishes in its hinterland over a period of one hundred years, drawing on local ecclesiastical court records, sermons, parish records, corporate minutes and charity books, and probate documents. He discusses the centrality of religious symbols and ceremonies in the ordering of local societies, particularly in local conceptions of place, personal identity, and the life cycle. Four phases in the transformation of parish communities emerge and are examined in this book. This exploration of the interrelationship of religion, politics, and society, and the transformation of local communities in civil war, has a value beyond the particular history of early modern England, contributing to a broader understanding of religious revivals, fundamentalisms, and the persistent link between religion, nationalism, and ethnic identity in the modern world.Table of Contents: Introduction: Church History as a Cultural System Part I: Social Form, 1590-1690 Reverend Histories: Geography and Landscape Parts, Persons, and Participants in the Commonwealth: Social Relations, Institutions, and Authority Under the Hand of God: Parish Communities and Rites of Mortality Part II: Social Process, 1590-1690 Circumcisions of the Heart: Church Courts, Social Relations, and Religious Conflict, 1591-1620 A Circle of Order: The Politics of Religious Symbolism, 1631-1640 To Unchurch a Church: Civil War and Revolution, 1642-1660 Astraea Redux: Religious Conflict, Restoration, and the Parish, 1660-1689 Bloody Stratagems and Busy Heads: Persecution, Avoidance, and the Structure of Religion, 1666-1689 Conclusion.

Accusations of Witchcraft in Tewkesbury Notes Manuscript Sources IndexReviews of this book: "In an intriguing argument, Beaver suggests that the reception of the Reformation into the Vale of Gloucester, where it lacked broad support, enabled dissenting religious groups to reject the territorial parish, in favour of the 'imagined communities' of the like-minded.His work is an important one. It translates the conflict of the seventeenth century into a local study that has a wider theoretical application.Beaver has written a perceptive and incisive study of religious and communal conflict in Stuart England, and one that is central to our understanding of seventeenth century society." --William Gibson, Albion [UK] "A significant historical study.This is not simply a work of local history, as it throws considerable light on wider aspects of the great conflict that convulsed Stuart England.The discussions are confident, sensible, and well grounded in the evidence.No other book that I know of covers the experience of a region (as distinct from a town) throughout the entire troubled history of seventeenth-century England in anything like this depth.It is original in the systematic way it applies anthropological concepts to English political and religious conflicts." --David E. Underdown, Yale University "He turns a local study into something that has theoretical force, as well as taking issue with other historians of Tudor-Stuart England on matters like the impact of the Civil War, 'revolution,' 'Restoration,' Laudianism and the like." --David D. Hall, Harvard Divinity School "Parish Communities and Religious Conflict in the Vale of Gloucester examines the belief and activities of ordinary men and women in the Vale of Gloucestershire during the last years of Elizabeth's reign and throughout most of the seventeenth century. It goes beyond most regional studies, however, in emphasizing the effect of religious change and conflict on local communities. Class and gender as well as religious convictions are seen as important factors determining social cohesion and political allegiance.this is a valuable study that should interest historians as well as students of religion in England." --History Reviews of this book: Daniel Beaver has written a volume grounded in extensive manuscript sources and combining the methodologies of social and cultural history with the theories of cultural anthropology. His geographical focus is the single-parish town of Tewkesbury and its environs (an area of approximately twelve square miles) in the county of Gloucester. Chronologically and thematically, however, his range is much broader, encompassing a wide range of topics relating to parish communities and religious conflict in the tumultuous seventeenth century.Beaver's reliance on rich local manuscript sources, complemented by his anthropological approach, provides useful insights into the particular local manifestations of dramatic shifts in the policies of the nation state during that time of unprecedented religious and political change.--Caroline Litzenberger, Journal of Ecclesiastical History

Abstract

This volume discusses the development of disunity in the Philippian church as the occasion for Paul's response in his letter. The first part of the book examines references and allusions to strife among the Philippians and tension between them and Paul. It demonstrates the pervasiveness of the theme of disunity in most sections of the letter. The second part correlates these findings with sections of the letter dealing with the Philippians' financial support for Paul. It treats such topics as Paul's attitude to money and the sociological composition of the church. The book's aim is to draw attention to social and non-theological aspects of the Philippian situation, and make a contribution to a more theological study of Philippians.

Abstract

Comment les controverses ont-elles permis à l'Église de clarifier sa doctrine en s'ajustant aux questions de son époque ? Face à la pensée occidentale moderne gangrenée par la « dictature du relativisme », Édouard Divry propose son remède : la controverse, la dispute, comme recherche obstinée de la vérité.À partir des tentations du Christ au désert, sur l'avoir, le savoir et le pouvoir, il analyse les grands débats théologiques, philosophiques, historiques, politiques, scientifiques ou culturels qui ont traversé l'Église des origines à nos jours : Galilée et le statut du progrès scientifique, l'immaculée conception de la Vierge, la prédestination, ou plus récemment la peine de mort, la liberté religieuse et la communion des « divorcés-remariés »…Cette « somme des controverses » est aussi une excellente introduction à la pensée théologique fondamentale, une catéchèse de haut niveau à travers les débats de la culture de notre temps et une base pour une pastorale missionnaire contemporaine.Avec érudition, dans un langage clair et concis, l'auteur remet à l'honneur la culture du débat, respectueuse du magistère, aiguillon pour l'éclosion de la bonne expression de la vérité. Un ouvrage de maturité, nourri d'une réflexion profonde, de multiples recherches et d'une vie de prêcheur.

Abstract

In the Latin Church, synods were places to seek religious truth but also political events with their own rules for conflict resolution. This volume discusses the dynamics of religion and politics in synods from late antiquity, the Middle Ages, and the early modern era, combining research on the history of ecclesiastical councils, conflict management and legal and political decision-making in the premodern era. Innerhalb der lateinischen Kirche wurden Synoden einerseits als Orte der religiösen Wahrheitsfindung, andererseits als politische Ereignisse mit eigenen Regeln der Konfliktlösung gesehen. Der vorliegende Band diskutiert resultierende Dynamiken in Spätantike, Mittelalter und Früher Neuzeit und bringt Forschungsansätze zu Konzilien, zur Konfliktbewältigung und zu rechtlichem und politischem Entscheiden in der Vormoderne zusammen.

Abstract

Très connu, mais jamais sérieusement étudié: Noël Béda (1470-1537), syndic de la Sorbonne au temps d'Érasme, est resté dans les mémoires comme le symbole de l'obscurantisme scolastique. Aujourd'hui, on le qualifierait pour le moins de doctrinaire sinon d'intégriste. Il lutta avec acharnement contre Érasme, Lefèvre d'Étaples et naturellement Luther. Noël Béda fut la thèse de l'école des Chartes de Pierre Caron, proche de Jaurès, qui allait devenir directeur des Archives nationales et historien spécialisé dans l'étude de la Révolution française. La préface, due à l'érudit Arnaud Laimé, remet Béda et Caron en perspective dans les courants intellectuels de leurs époques respectives.
