Global Reformations

Nicholas Terpstra teaches early modern history at the University of Toronto, Canada, working at the intersections of gender, politics, charity, and religion. Recent publications include Religious Refugees in the Early Modern World: An Alternative Interpretation of the Reformation (2016) and Faith’s Boundaries: Laity and Clergy in Early Modern Confraternities (2013).

"Abandoning the eurocentric perspective, the Reformation should be examined as a global and pluralistic phenomenon, in order to see the plastic relations with other faiths. With this goal, Nicholas Terpstra has engaged scholars of different fields and backgrounds, guaranteeing a full and global view and proposing new hypotheses that co-exist with and deepen traditional interpretations. . . . . .the standing and authority of these scholars has not prevented them from entering fully into the discussion, bringing original research and moving to new interpretations. The studies are very interesting, proposing analyses of new or little explored sources, with a significant expansion of the research horizons." Michaela Valente, Nuova Rivista Storica
