Description
This important book examines the impact of the Revolution on religious life in France. Catholic structures and beliefs are central, but minorities like Protestants and Jews are not neglected, as it surveys the fate of the confessional state and the extent of 'de-Christianization'. Based on the latest scholarship, and set within the European context, the author emphasizes the turbulence of church-state relations, the role of religion in determining political loyalties, and the tenacious survival of religious practice in the late Eighteenth-century.
