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

A new survey of the relationship between the two Celtic and Roman traditions in Merovingian Gaul, Lombard Italy, and the British Isles during the period of the Easter controversy, this book argues that the three main areas of conflict between the two traditions were the baptismal liturgy, the style of tonsure, and, more importantly, the correct dating of Easter.

This volume results from the international research project ?The Migration of Faith: Clerical Exile in Late Antiquity (325?c.600)?. The project is a collaboration between the Department of History at the University of Sheffield, the Seminar für Kirchengeschichte at the University of Halle, and the Department of Culture and Society at Aarhus University. Ten chapters of the volume are revised versions of papers delivered at the XVII International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford in 2015. The three chapters of the first part of the volume discuss the question of "Clerical Exile and Social Control". The second part offers five selected case studies from the 3rd to the 6th centuries. The final part deals with discourses, memories, and legacies of clerical exile in late antiquity

Etude des controverses et des polémiques à l'époque du Grand Schisme avec les implications ecclésiologiques et politiques.Une histoire du Grand Schisme écrit sous l’angle des polémiques et des constructions doctrinales issues des controverses, tel est le but de l’ouvrage. Il s’agit, en reconstituant la trame de l’intertextualité du temps de mesurer le poids des polémiques dans les orientations politiques et ecclésiologiques des acteurs du temps et des institutions, soucieuses de prendre place dans l’espace public en vue d’un contrôle de l’opinion. Les réseaux textuels et discursifs révèlent alors toute une ambiance : celle d’un temps de violences symboliques et de non-dits, de censures et de pressions, selon les rapports de force des partis en présence. La personne du pape avignonnais Benoît XIII divise plus encore que le pape romain du temps. Si l’enjeu reste l’unité de l’Église, le désir d’éviction d’un pape opiniâtre aura permis la mise au point de tactiques canoniques voire d’innovations ecclésiologiques. Temps de crise indéniablement, le Grand Schisme s’avère également un temps de dynamisme et d’audaces ecclésiologiques inédits.
