God in La Mancha: Religious Reform and the People of Cuenca, 1500-1650

Winner of the Sixteenth Century Studies Conference's Bainton Book Prize

Even as the Protestant Reformation became a permanent feature of European culture, a Catholic reformation was under way in Spain. In this acclaimed social history of the Spanish Counter-Reformation, Sara Nalle uses the records of local religious courts, parishes, and notarial archives to explore in striking detail how the people and clergy of Cuenca learned to conform to the new standards of modern Catholicism.
