This book offers an excellent perspective on the history of religious peace by a leading historian of Europe. It examines Europe's religious wars and the creation of widespread religious pluralism. This expert account enables Te Brake to imagine what religious peace might entail in our own time. A must-read for those who care for our contemporary predicament. --Peter van der Veer, University of Gottingen Te Brake maps the religious wars and religious peace in Western European history with unmatched acumen, making this history straightforward yet sophisticated. . . . His great achievement is to give his readers deep insight into how historical inquiry is so valuable for the identification of patterns, practices, and procedures to help construct religious peace today. This is a book that should be widely read and mined for its historical and political wisdom. --Karen Barkey, Bard College This book is a brilliant example of applying analysis and insights from the Protestant Reformation in Europe to cases of religious conflict and peace in different parts of the contemporary world. Te Brake persuasively offers nonviolent activism and encourages the agency of non-state actors as a solution to ending religious violence and wars. --Yonca Koksal, Koc University
