Calvinism has been associated with print and literary cultures, with republican, liberal and participatory political cultures, with cultures of violence and vandalism, enlightened cultures, cultures of social discipline, secular cultures, and with the emergence of capitalism. Reflecting on
these arguments, this volume recognizes that Reformed Protestantism did not develop as a uniform tradition but varied across Europe. The authors gathered by editors Crawford Gribben and Graeme Murdock demonstrate that multiple iterations of Calvinism developed and impacted differing European
communities that were themselves experiencing social and cultural transition. It shows how these iterations of Calvinism were shaped by their adherents and opponents, and by the divergent political and social contexts in which they were articulated and performed.
