Review
"[R]eligion, and especially ascetic Protestantism, was a very real difference maker in early modern European society. While most historians of the period need no persuading on this score, Gorski's book would be instructive to, for example, certain camps of sociologists that have overlooked religion in their calculations...The introduction [is] stimulating."--The Sixteenth Century Journal, Winter 2012 "[A] gracefully executed book. Its author, Philip S. Gorski, is one of the most important voices in the historical sociology of religion today... [Gorski] demonstrates an ability to furnish smooth presentations of dense historical data and lucid accounts of complex social processes... Not only are some of the essays by now 'veritable classics'...their juxtaposition heightens the sense that the attentive reader derives of Gorski's project and the skill with which he has pursued it."--Sociology of Religion, Summer 2013
