Inhaltsangabe

The Counter-Reformation transformed significant areas of the intellectual, religious and devotional life of early-modern Europe. In this comprehensive book, Nicholas Davidson considers first the ambitions and aims of the Counter-Reformation in defining the Church's doctrine and role in society. The next section examines how the Church tried to realize the ideals of reform in parish, diocese and mission. Finally, the author assesses how far the Counter-Reformation actually achieved its goals. The book should be of interest to A-Level students and undergraduates in early modern history.
