Die Kulturgeschichte des fürstbischöflichen Hofes in Neuhaus ist ein bislang wenig beachtetes Thema. Zu Unrecht. Vor allem die internationalen Beziehungen des Hofes auch jenseits der konfessionellen Grenzen verdeutlichen, dass Neuhaus in der Frühen Neuzeit ein Zentrum für Künstler und Gelehrte war. Der biographische Zugriff stellt die Akteure des fürstbischöflichen Hofes in den Mittelpunkt. Ihre personalen Netzwerke verbanden die höfische Kultur in Neuhaus mit den Höfen des Alten Reichs und vor allem mit Italien. Im Zentrum des Bandes stehen die Künstler, Gelehrten und Mitglieder des Hofstaates, die mit ihrer Tätigkeit die Kultur des Hofes prägten. Ihr Bezug zu Neuhaus und ihr Beitrag zur Gestaltung des Neuhäuser Hoflebens werden herausgearbeitet und so ein Einblick in den Alltag der fürstbischöflichen Residenz ermöglicht. Damit ist der Band auch für ein breites Publikum von Interesse. Das Buch ist reich bebildert und über ein Ortsregister erschlossen.

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 Munster, 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."
