The collection of essays in Religious Modernism in the LowCountriesaims at instigating a comparative analysis of Protestant and RomanCatholic modernisms. The contributions make abundantly clear that themodernist landscape in the Low Countries in the nineteenth and earlytwentieth centuries offers an exceptional variety of views andperspectives that invite a comparative study. Where should we look forcommonalities and where for inevitable differences? To what extent isthere a simultaneity in the emergence of progressive thought in thesereligious traditions? What is the impact of ecclesiastical, geographical, and political structures? The essays show that the storyof modernism is closely allied with that of a sometimes virulentanti-modernist reaction. A differentiated understanding of theseintellectual developments and confrontations sheds further light on the'shared history' of Roman Catholics and Protestants in theirefforts torespond to the various challenges posed by the modern world.
