In de reeks 'The dynamics of religious reform in Northern Europe (1780-1920)' verscheen een volume over de ontelbare devotionele organisaties die in 'de lange 19de eeuw' het licht zagen: het is de periode van duizenden devotieboekjes, pamfletten, affiches, tijdschriften en dies meer. Tal van experten bestuderen in dit boek de aard van de hervormingen die in deze periode tot stand komen onder druk van die dingen in de liturgie, de bedevaarten, de heiligencultus, de broederschappen enzovoort. Niet alleen in Afrika wordt gemissioneerd, maar ook in Europa! De experten buigen zich over de devotionele patronen inde volksvroomheid die grondig veranderen in deze periode en die mede aan de basis liggen van het Rijke Roomse Leven. Een heel hoofstuk is gewijd aan de toestand in België (naast andere landen). Daaruit blijkt dat de clerus eerst nogal weigerachtig stond tegenover volksvroomheid, maar die dan toch in 'goede' banen kan leiden.

This is a useful collection of essays not just for historians of religion, but for political, social and cultural historians. The essays illustrate the close interaction between culture, political and social movements and religion in the various countries, and also how even the Roman Catholic Church could respond differently in different national contexts. Although northern Europe was very different in 1920 from what it had been in 1780, religion continued to play a very significant role in people's lives as both a radical and conservative influence, and also in relation to nationalism and internationalism in these countries during the 'long nineteenth century'.
