Religious life in the urban home, 1600 - 1800

关键的研究问题是：在那个时期，这座房子是如何以及为什么成为新教徒、天主教徒和犹太社区重要的宗教活动场所的？不同信仰群体的家庭实践之间有什么联系和差异？紧张的根源是什么？被正式排除在公共领域之外的宗教团体是如何试图使家庭和公共之间的界限变得更加松散的？城市环境如何塑造家庭奉献以及宗教生活和职业活动的交集？神圣和世俗之间的界限是如何在家庭空间内协商的？

The key research questions are: How and why was the home an important site of religious practice for Protestant, Catholic and Jewish communities in the period? What are the connections and differences between the domestic practices of different faith communities? What sources of tension existed? How did religious communities formally excluded from the public sphere seek to make the boundaries between home and public more porous? How did the urban environment shape domestic devotion and the intersection of religious life and professional activities? How were the boundaries between the sacred and the worldly negotiated within the space of the family home?
