With one exception, the papers collected here were first presented at a conference sponsored by the British Academy held at Newbold College, Berkshire, in 1999. This volume provides a historical perspective to the emerging literature on pluralism. A range of experts examine how Calvinists in early modern France, England, Hungary and the Netherlands related to members of other faith communities and to society in general. The essays explore the importance of Calvinists' separateness and potent sense of identity. To what extent did this enable them to survive persecution ? Did it at times actually induce repression ? Where Calvinists held political power, why did they often turn from persecuted into persecutors ? How did they relate to (Ana)Baptists, Quakers and Catholics, for example ? The conventional wisdom that toleration (and, in consequence, pluralism) resulted from a waning in religious zeal is queried and alternative explanations considered. Finally, the concept of ‘pluralism' itself is investigated.

About the book >.>.> This volume is the ultimate outcome of a colloquium, held at Newbold College in September 1999 and supported by the British Academy, on religious minorities and the enforcement of conformity in Europe since the Reformation. Lasting four days and attended by over eighty delegates from eighteen countries, it was held to mark an anniversary: the 125th anniversary of the Seventh-day Adventist church in Britain and Europe; but it was not simply to commemorate a century and a quarter of one Protestant denomination's existence in Europe. Rather, the anniversary was the occasion to consider a significant problem: the extent to which different churches, even different faiths, can exist (and co-exist) in a pluralist, secular society. Two volumes of essays have emerged from that conference, but neither are proceedings volumes. In each volume, essays especially commissioned in order to ensure fuller treatment of the subject matter supplement papers delivered at the conference, the authors of which have in the interim made (oft.
