Edificar e Transgredir
Este livro traz um rico quadro da realidade da Igreja e do clero no Brasil-colônia. Três grandes linhas de análise percorrem o livro. Em primeiro lugar, são estudadas as normas e as instituições eclesiásticas (cabidos, catedrais e paróquias). Em segundo lugar, analisam-se as práticas de controle da fé, da moral e dos costumes (visitas pastorais e inquisitoriais), assim como os agentes da ortodoxia (comissários e familiares). Finalmente, é estudado um conjunto de transgressões às normas e crenças oficiais (práticas criptojudaicas, feitiçarias, solicitação de confessores e concubinato do clero). A riqueza e variedade das perspectivas de análise e a sólida base documental dos textos reunidos revelam a qualidade deste livro. Trata-se de uma obra que vem, aliás, demonstrar o dinamismo e a consistência dos estudos sobre a História da Igreja, da religiosidade e do clero na historiografia luso-brasileira atual. (Ana Isabel López-Salazar)
The Culture Wars of the Late Renaissance
In this book, Muir explores an era of cultural innovation that promoted free inquiry in the face of philosophical and theological orthodoxy, advocated libertine morals, critiqued the tyranny of aristocratic fathers over their daughters, and expanded the theatrical potential of grand opera. In so doing, he reveals the distinguished past of today's culture wars, including debates about the place of women in society, the clash between science and faith, and the power of the arts to stir emotions.
Atlantic Diasporas
This wide-ranging narrative explores the role that Jews, Conversos, and Crypto-Jews played in settling and building the Atlantic world between 1500 and 1800. Through the interwoven themes of markets, politics, religion, culture, and identity, the essays here demonstrate that the world of Atlantic Jewry, most often typified by Port Jews involved in mercantile pursuits, was more complex than commonly depicted. The first section discusses the diaspora in relation to maritime systems, commerce, and culture on the Atlantic and includes an overview of Jewish history on both sides of the ocean. The second section provides an in-depth look at Jewish mercantilism, from settlements in Dutch America to...
History of Canon Law
In four periods : From the foundation of the Church to the "Decretum Gratiani", from the Gregorian Reform to the Council of Trent, from Trent to the "Codex Iuris Canonici", and from its promulgation in 1917 to the new Codex of 1983, Van de Wiel offers a clear description of the general concepts and constitutive sources of Canon Law. His work is a contribution to the history of canon law and will be of great service both to students and jurists. Constant Van de Wiel is currently professor of Canon Law at the Catholic University of Leuven, Louvain (Belgium), Chancellor and Keeper of the Archives of the Archdiocese of Mechlin-Brussels. He published on the subject in the Louvain Journal of Theological and Canonical Studies : "Ephemerides Theologicae Lovanienses", and in several specialized journals.

Health Care and Poor Relief in Counter-Reformation Europe
The role of religion was of paramount importance in the change of attitudes and approaches to health care and charity which took place in the centuries following the Council of Trent. Health Care and Poor Relief in Counter-Reformation Europe, examines the effects of the Counter-Reformation on health care and poor relief in Southern Catholic Europe in the period between 1540 and 1700. As well as a comprehensive introduction discussing issues of the nature of the Catholic or Counter-Reformation and the welfare provisions of the period, Health Care and Poor Relief sets the period in its social, economic, religious and ideological context. The book draws on the practices in different localities in Southern Europe, ranging from the Republic of Venice and the Kingdom of Naples to Germany and Austria. These examples establish how and why a revitalised and strenghtened post-Tridentine Catholic church managed to reshape and reinvigorate welfare provisions in Southern Europe.
