Beyond belief [Elektronisk resurs] surviving the revocation of the Edict of Nantes in France / Christie Sample Wilson.

• Introduction : a different take -- Seeking to live 'without a note of infamy', 1650-1679 -- A confessionally distinct population : the pre-Revocation years, 1650-1684 -- They will form a cabal against us : the experience of the Revocation -- As if they were living in Geneva : ongoing challenges of enforcing Catholic conformity -- So what about confessionalization? : the degree of persistence of confessionally distinct behaviors, 1690-1715 -- Conclusion : beyond belief.

• This book presents a demographic study of the behaviors of Protestants and Catholics in Loriol, a town in southeastern France between 1650 and 1715. There the Protestants did not endure the full array of horrors experienced by so many French Protestants and survived pressure to convert until the Revocation itself. The entire community managed to minimize the interference of the crown and the Catholic Church in their affairs through the end of Louis XIV's reign. The experience of Loriol shows that a large portion of the community was involved in the tacit acceptance of Protestants, a position that served those of both confessions by minimizing the interference of outside civil and religious authorities.
