A Companion to the Huguenots
The Huguenots are among the best known of early modern European religious minorities. Their suffering in 16th and 17th-century France is a familiar story. The flight of many Huguenots from the kingdom after 1685 conferred upon them a preeminent place in the accounts of forced religious migrations. Their history has become synonymous with repression and intolerance. At the same time, Huguenot accomplishments in France and the lands to which they fled have long been celebrated. They are distinguished by their theological formulations, political thought, and artistic achievements. This volume offers an encompassing portrait of the Huguenot past, investigates the principal lines of historical development, and suggests the interpretative frameworks that scholars have advanced for appreciating the Huguenot experience.
The Trinitarian Wisdom of God: Louis Bouyer’s Theology of the God-World Relationship
Christian theology in recent decades has seen an explosion in the number of books published seeking a renewal of Trinitarian ontology. There has also been a proliferation of studies dedicated to the theology of Wisdom. Few if any of these books on the Trinity or on Wisdom have drawn for inspiration on the comprehensive vision of French Oratorian priest Louis Bouyer (1913–2004), one of the greatest theologians of the modern age. Bouyer produced a comprehensive work of theology that integrated these two seminal concerns based on a vast “re-sourcing” of the Christian tradition. Dr. Keith Lemna explores Bouyer’s achievement in depth, showing that at the heart of his venture was a deep, c...
A Science of the Saints
Throughout the church’s long history, Christians have sought out wise mentors to guide them on the journey toward God. A Science of the Saints explores the dynamics of spiritual direction as revealed in the lives and writings of a wide array of exemplary disciples, from the Desert Fathers and Mothers to Thomas Merton, and from St. Teresa of Avila to St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein). This groundbreaking work sheds new light on an essential dimension of the Christian experience, yielding timeless wisdom to inform the practice of spiritual direction in our own day.
Liturgical Theology as a Research Program
The fundamental intuition of this essay is that liturgical theology does not simply deal with Christian rituals, festivals and sacraments, but with the core of faith itself: God, world, the Christ event, tradition, Church, and redemption.
The Ashgate Research Companion to Women and Gender in Early Modern Europe
Over the past three decades scholars have transformed the study of women and gender in early modern Europe. This Ashgate Research Companion presents an authoritative review of the current research on women and gender in early modern Europe from a multi-disciplinary perspective. The authors examine women’s lives, ideologies of gender, and the differences between ideology and reality through the recent research across many disciplines, including history, literary studies, art history, musicology, history of science and medicine, and religious studies. The book is intended as a resource for scholars and students of Europe in the early modern period, for those who are just beginning to explore these issues and this time period, as well as for scholars learning about aspects of the field in which they are not yet an expert. The companion offers not only a comprehensive examination of the current research on women in early modern Europe, but will act as a spark for new research in the field.

Clergés, communautés et familles des montagnes d'Europe
Une trentaine de chercheurs français et étrangers ont étudié l'ensemble des rapports entre clergés et familles en les replaçant dans le cadre économique social et mental collectif. Ils ont tenu compte des évolutions et des volontés de réforme de l'Eglise (concile de Trente) et des transformations des sociétés de montagne (évolution des croyances et des contraintes de la vie quotidienne).
Catherine de Bourbon
Catherine de Bourbon, restée dans l'ombre de sa mère Jeanne d'Albret et de son frère Henri IV, a cependant fait preuve d'une belle force de caractère et d'un sens aigu des responsabilités. Henri IV confiera d'ailleurs pendant dix ans la régence de la Navarre à sa petite soeur chèrement aimée, régence qu'elle assumera avec force et diplomatie. Plus tard après l'abjuration politique de 1593, c'est encore à sa soeur qu'Henri IV donne le titre de "caution huguenote du royaume" Mariée à Henri II de Lorraine, duc de Bar, catholique, Catherine de Bourbon refuse d'abjurer. Elle meurt à Nancy et sera inhumée à Vendôme auprès de ses parents Jeanne d'Albret et Antoine de Bourbon.
