This study reconstructs for the first time Marguerite of Navarre’s leadership of a broad circle of nobles, prelates, humanist authors, and commoners, who sought to advance the reform of the French church along evangelical (Protestant) lines. Hitherto misunderstood in scholarship, they are revealed to have pursued, despite persecution, a consistent reform program from the Meaux experiment to the end of Francis I’s reign through a variety of means: fostering local church reform, publishing a large corpus of religious literature, high-profile public preaching, and attempting to shape the direction of royal policy. Their distinctive doctrines, relations with major reformers – including their erstwhile colleague Calvin – involvement in major Reformation events, and the impact of their unsuccessful attempt are all explored.

Muslims and Citizens

A groundbreaking study of the role of Muslims in eighteenth-century France From the beginning, French revolutionaries imagined their transformation as a universal one that must include Muslims, Europe's most immediate neighbors. They believed in a world in which Muslims could and would be French citizens, but they disagreed violently about how to implement their visions of universalism and accommodate religious and social difference. Muslims, too, saw an opportunity, particularly as European powers turned against the new French Republic, leaving the Muslim polities of the Middle East and North Africa as France's only friends in the region. In Muslims and Citizens, Coller examines how Muslims came to participate in the political struggles of the revolution and how revolutionaries used Muslims in France and beyond as a test case for their ideals. In his final chapter, Coller reveals how the French Revolution's fascination with the Muslim world paved the way to Napoleon's disastrous invasion of Egypt in 1798.

Contributions à une histoire du catholicisme

L’histoire religieuse est un champ de recherches dynamique. Sur la très longue durée, du Moyen Âge à l’époque très contemporaine, cet ouvrage se propose d’en explorer les plus récents questionnements et objets. Adoptant de multiples échelles – locale, régionale, nationale ou internationale –, les contributions ici réunies reflètent les curiosités et le cheminement intellectuels de Marc Agostino, professeur émérite à l’université de Bordeaux 3. Après une thèse de troisième cycle sur le cardinal Lecot (1831-1908), figure symbolique de l’épiscopat de la Troisième République (1974), Marc Agostino consacra sa thèse d’État à Pie XI et l’opinion publique (...
