Were early modern religious conflicts wars 'of religion', 'for religion', 'between religions', or 'about religion'? The ways in which war was waged and peace was agreed in the 'long sixteenth century' were strongly influenced by, had a deep connection with, and produced a lasting impact on, the religious divide of Latin Christianity in the wake of the Reformation. This collection of essays seeks to analyse historically these influences, connections, and impacts from multiple points of view.

Sakakini's work reflects the transformations of Arab societies since the beginning of the 20th century, particularly the changing gender roles. This study shows how she took globally circulating feminist concerns, translated them into her local contexts, and rooted them in Arab-Islamic history. As an "Arab feminist," being both a feminist and a Muslima went together well for her. Taking her life as an example of a transnational biography, this study further argues that it would be unsatisfactory to reduce her complex affiliations and trajectory, to a mere Islamic, secular or Syrian identity.

From 1534-1541, Calvin used the image of the fountain to portray God as the source of everything, with the power to preserve and give life to all creatures. Between the Latin edition of the Institutes in 1539 and the French translation of that work in 1541, Calvin was indecisive about the definition of special providence. However, he defined three kinds of divine providence in 1552. Based on these definitions, Calvin presented his exegesis on the Book of Job and the Book of Psalms through his sermons and commentaries. From 1534-1559, Calvin formulated his biblical doctrine of divine providence.Suk Yu Chan provides a revisit of John Calvin's interpretation of the doctrine of divine providence.
