Originally published in Dutch in 1715, this two-volume work by the philosopher and theologian Bernard Nieuwentyt (1654–1718) is reissued here in the 1724 third edition of the English translation by John Chamberlayne (1668/9–1723). The book seeks to persuade both Christians and atheists that scientific examination of the natural world is compatible with religious belief. According to Chamberlayne, Nieuwentyt published this illustrated work to 'magnify the Wisdom and Goodness of God' while challenging those who did not see proof of the divine in nature. The work is known to have influenced the natural theology of the English philosopher William Paley (1743–1805), whose famous analogy of the watchmaker is believed to have been taken directly from Nieuwentyt. Arguing against rationalist philosophers such as Spinoza, Volume 2 continues Nieuwentyt's series of 'contemplations', focusing on details about the cosmos and the laws of nature

In early modern Europe, memory of the past served as a main frame of moral, political, legal, religious, and social reference for people of all walks of life. This volume examines how Europeans practiced memory between 1500 and 1800, and how these three centuries saw a shift in how people engaged with the past.

"In this book, David Salomoni reconstructs the complex educational landscape that arose in sixteenth-century Italy and lasted until the French Revolution. This book addresses this historigoraphical gap, providing a new chapter in the comparative study of pre-modern education"--

"A Companion to Religious Minorities in Early Modern Rome investigates the lives and stories of the many groups and individuals in Rome, between 1500 and approximately 1750, who were not Roman (Latin) Catholic. It shows how early modern Catholic people and institutions in Rome were directly influenced by their interactions with other religious traditions. This collection reveals the significant impact of Protestants, Muslims, Jews, and Eastern Rite Christians; the influence of the many transient groups and individual travelers who passed through the city; the unique contributions of converts to Catholicism, who drew on the religion of their birth; and the importance of intermediaries, fluent in more than one culture and religion"--

Arguing against rationalist philosophers such as Spinoza, Volume 1 defends natural theology and presents a series of detailed 'contemplations' about the complexity of the human body

The importance of key legislation in framing religious education in England is widely assumed, and indeed some argue that these Acts – of 1870, 1944 and 1988 – demarcate pedagogical phases, or paradigms. Policy and historical analyses have revealed the political and social disputes around legislation, but often conflate legislation with other policy. This paper reassesses the statutory meanings of 'religious education' through a textual analysis of legislation from 1800 onwards, exploring: the positive entitlement to religious education; the negative freedom not to be subjected to other forms of religious education; curriculum specifications. Sixty-five Acts were reviewed. Presented chronologically, the analysis shows that: the term has a long and varied development that predates compulsory education; several neglected Acts have been pivotal in shaping the subject – notably in 1841, 1869 and 1936; religious education is continuously a marker of religious autonomy for individuals and increasingly for schools, and its curricular use stems from this; the newest related terms are for inspection purposes. The implications are discussed for accounts of the subject, curriculum development and further research, both in England and more widely.
