Leading historians explore the many dimensions of sacred space (churches and chapels, pilgrimage sites, holy wells) during and after the religious upheavals of the early modern period through a variety of contexts and Christian religious divisions. Based on original research, these essays provide new insights into the definition and understanding of sanctity in the post-Reformation era and make an important contribution to the study of sacred space.

Reviews & endorsements
"Early modern scholars and students of environment, particularly architecture, will appreicate the diversity of subjects and methodologies in this work. A brief biographical sketch of each contributor introduces the work and a twenty-five page index concludes the volume."
-Timothy Maschke, Concordia University, Wisconsin Sixteenth Century JournalSee more reviews"Coster and Spicer have gathered a geographically, religiously, and historically diverse, yet remarkably cohesive, mix of studies...Sacred Space in Early Modern Europe discloses the multiplicity of ways that early modern Catholics, Protestants, and Eastern Orthodox continuously oriented themselves, often bumping up against each other in the process, by actively creating and re-creating sites of religious meaning in relationship to larger social and cultural forces. The volume is an important contribution to early modern studies, Reformation studies, history of Christianity, and history of religions."
-Martha L. Finch, Missouri State University, Church History"This volume is innovative, informative, and strongly recommended."
