This collection of essays seeks to analyse historically these influences, connections, and impact from multiple points of view, such as - but not limited to - the links between war and rebellion, the issues of trust and religious violence, early modern university debates on war and peace, the problems engendered by intolerance and the difficult management of tolerance, the delicate matters of politico-religious accommodation and the implementation of peace in towns and contested territories, the reappraisals and changes in the narratives of military prowess and religious fidelity, the role of women in the religious conflicts in the long sixteenth century, the porous boundaries (imagined or real) which existed between enemies in times of war and the issues connected to the cohabitation with the Other in times of peace.

Thomas T. Müller ist Direktor der Mühlhäuser Museen und Vorsitzender der Thomas-Müntzer-Gesellschaft.
