The Jews in Christian Europe 1400-1700 Paperback / softback
by John (University of Oxford) Edwards, J. Edwards
Part of the Christianity and Society in the Modern World series
Paperback / softback
Description
This social and religious history of European Jews in the early modern period is unique in placing Jewish experience in the context of Christian society.
Beginning with late medieval Jewry and the expulsion from Spain in 1492 of Jews who refused to convert to Christianity, John Edwards goes on to analyse the role of Jews during the Renaissance, the Reformation and the Counter-Reformation, and ends with the early development of religious toleration and the Enlightenment.
He examines the complexity of personal and communal belief and practice, and also describes the social, political and economic experience of Jews and Christians, bringing together Christian and Jewish historiography in order to enrich our understanding of the social relations between the two.
