The pluralization of Christian religion was the defining fact of cultural life in sixteenth-century Europe. Everywhere they took root, ideas of evangelical reform disturbed the unity of religious observance on which political community was founded. By the third quarter of the sixteenth century, one or another form of Christianity had emerged as dominant in most territories of the Holy Roman Empire.In Hometown Religion: Regimes of Coexistence in Early Modern Westphalia, David Luebke examines a territory that managed to escape that fate-the prince-bishopric of Münster, a sprawling ecclesiastical principality and the heart of an entire region in which no single form of Christianity dominated. In this confessional "no-man's-land, " a largely peaceable order took shape and survived well into the mid-seventeenth century, a unique situation, which raises several intriguing questions: How did Catholics and Protestants manage to share parishes for so long without religious violence? How did they hold together their communities in the face of religious pluralization? Luebke responds by examining the birth, maturation, old age, and death of a biconfessional "regime"-a system of laws, territorial agreements, customs, and tacit understandings that enabled Roman Catholics and Protestants, Lutherans as well as Calvinists, to cohabit the territory's parishes for the better part of a century. In revealing how these towns were able to preserve peace and unity-in the Age of Religious Wars- Hometown Religion attests to the power of toleration in the conduct of everyday life.

In den USA offenbaren sich gleichzeitig die Verlockungen einer Konsumgesellschaft und ihre Schattenseiten: die Omnipräsenz des Kommerzes, eine extreme Autozentriertheit und die Verödung vieler Innenstädte.An diese Beobachtung anknüpfend fragen die Autoren des Bandes, ob und wie weit Konsumenten hierzulande konsequent fremden Vorbildern wie den USA gefolgt sind: Muss der Weg in die moderne Konsumgesellschaft für die Europäer gar als ein Aspekt kultureller und politischer Abhängigkeit verstanden werden? Oder entstand die Konsumgesellschaft diesseits des Atlantiks überwiegend aus eigenen Wurzeln und bildet damit in ihrer aktuellen Gestalt durchaus ein charakteristisches Element von Europäizität? Veranschaulicht wird dies am Beispiel einer Stadt in der Region Westfalen, die für sich in Anspruch nimmt, stärker als andere den goldenen Mittelweg zwischen Tradition und konsumgesellschaftlicher Modernisierung gewählt zu haben: Die ehemalige Provinzialhauptstadt Münster, die sich seit dem Jahr 2004 mit dem Titel »Die lebenswerteste Stadt der Welt« schmücken darf.

In February 1534, a radical group of Anabaptists, gripped with apocalyptic fervor, seized the city of Münster and established an idealistic communal government that quickly deteriorated into extreme inequality and theocratic totalitarianism. In response, troops hired by the city's prince-bishop laid siege to the city. Fifteen months later the besieged inhabitants were starving, and, in the dead of the night, five men slipped out. Separated from his fellow escapees, Henry Gresbeck gambled with his life by approaching enemy troops. Taken prisoner, he collaborated with the enemy to devise a plan to recapture Münster, and later recorded the only eyewitness account of the Anabaptist kingdom of Münster. Gresbeck's account, which attempts to explain his role in the bizarre events, disappeared into the archives and was largely ignored for centuries.Before now, Gresbeck's account was only available in a heavily edited German copy adapted from inferior manuscripts. Christopher S. Mackay, who previously produced the only modern translation of the main Latin account of these events, has adhered closely to Gresbeck’s own words to produce the first complete and accurate English translation of this important primary source.
