"Confessional Diplomacy in Early Modern Europe examines the role of religion in diplomacy in early modern Europe. In the period following the Reformations, Europe became divided: all over the continent princes and their people segregated over theological, liturgical, and spiritual matters. At the same time, diplomacy rose as a means of communication and policy, so all powers established long- or short-term embassies and sent envoys to other courts and capitals. The book addresses three main areas where questions of religion and/or confession played a role: Papal diplomacy, priests and other clerics as diplomatic agents, and religion as a question for diplomatic debate, especially concerning embassy chapels"-- Provided by publisher.
