This conference was organised by the Huizinga Institute for Cultural History in cooperation with the ReLiC Centre for Dutch Religious History at the VU University in Amsterdam. The papers address issues related to Pietist movements, confessional formation, and theories of confessionalisation. The question whether Pietism should be seen as a consequence of or a reaction to confessionalisation attracts serious attention. -- A comprehensive scholarly examination of the religious reform movements that shaped Europe between the 16th and 18th centuries, with a particular focus on Confessionalism and Pietism. The book explores how these movements developed in response to the complex social, political, and religious landscapes of early modern Europe and delves into the various interpretations and manifestations of piety and reform during this period. The volume is structured around four key themes - Tradition, Implementation, Communication, and Imagination - each of which is examined through a series of case studies and thematic explorations by leading historians and theologians. The book concludes with a reflective essay by Hartmut Lehmann, who synthesizes the various strands of discussion and offers a framework for understanding the broader implications of religious reform movements in early modern Europe and North America. -- Contents: Introduction: Conceptualizing religious reform movements in early modern Europe / Fred van Lieburg; -- 1.
