Summary:

"Between Secularization and Reform: Religion in the Enlightenment provides a critical reappraisal of the idea that Enlightenment stands at the headwaters of secularization. Contributors analyze early modern religious controversies, the significance of faith in national contexts, clandestine philosophy, varieties of rational religion, and the intermingling of heterodoxy with unbelief in the writings of key thinkers and less famous figures. The authors encourage revisiting the descriptions of the "Age of Lights" that use such categories as 'moderate - radical' and 'religious - secular'. Picturing the deep transformation undergone by religion in the Enlightenment, it draws a thin line between religious reforms and attempts at relegating faith from the public sphere and individuals' lives." -- Publisher, page four of cover.
