Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the origin of Calvinism and the Reformed faith through a detailed history of its progress in the Pays de Vaud. A careful examination of twin conflicts – the forced conversion of a Catholic populace to Protestantism by the Bernese; and the struggle of Calvinists against the Zwinglian political and theological ideas that dominated the Swiss Confederation – helps show why the Reformation bloomed where and when it did.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Refusing to Kiss the Slipper re-examines the Reformation in francophone Europe, presenting for the first time the perspective of John Calvin's evangelical enemies. This book brings together a cast of Calvin's opponents from various French-speaking territories to show that opposition to Calvinism was stronger and better organized than has ever before been recognized. It examines individual opponents, such as Pierre Caroli, Jerome Bolsec, Sebastian Castellio, Charles Du Moulin, and Jean Morély, but more importantly, it explores the anti-Calvinist networks that developed around such individuals. Each group had its own origins and agenda, but all agreed that Calvin's claim to absolute religious authority too closely echoed the religious sovereignty of the pope. These oft-neglected opponents refused to offer such obeisance-to kiss the papal slipper-arguing instead for open discussion of controversial doctrines. This book also shows that the challenge posed by these groups shaped the way the Calvinists themselves developed their reform strategies. The book demonstrates that the breadth and strength of the anti-Calvinist networks requires us to abandon the traditional assumption that Huguenots and other francophone Protestants were universally Calvinist"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Die moderne Denkmalpflege hat sich seit der Mitte des 19. Jahrhunderts herausgebildet und ist unter der Maxime «Konservieren statt Restaurieren» zu einer wissenschaftlich fundierten, gesetzlich geregelten staatlichen Aufgabe herangewachsen. Dass sie auf dem rechten Wege sei, ist unstrittig, auch wenn es bei der Renovierung herausragender Monumente immer wieder zu heftigen Auseinandersetzungen kommt. Offensichtlich ist aber auch, dass es der vormodernen, vorwissenschaftlichen 'Denkmalpflege' gelungen ist, Bauwerke und ihre Ausstattung über wenigstens anderthalb Jahrtausende zu erhalten. Diese erstaunliche Leistung, deren Beweggründe und Methoden werden in diesem Sammelband an konkreten Beispielen untersucht, an Beispielen, die sich nicht verallgemeinern lassen und gerade deswegen das Denken der vormodernen 'Denkmalpfleger' in seiner Vielfalt erfahrbar machen.
