Abstract: Back cover: This anthology relates to current discussions on Protestantism - past and present - and is relevant to everyone who wants to keep up to date with the current research in the field. Based on the Weberian interest for Protestantism and its cultural significance, Protestantism can be an integrative concept to trace the makeup of today's secular societies. This profiled approach is a point of departure for this anthology discussing important aspects of historiography in reformation history: continuity and breaks surrounding the reformation, contemporary significance of reformation history research and traces of the reformation in today's society.
