The Catholic Reform of XVIIth-century France called "L'École française" became normative for much of Catholicism well into the XXth century. The main thrust of this reform was both mystical and pastoral. It is the latter aspect that is studied in this book. Catechisms and sermons became the primary instruments of popular religious education and reform. They reflected both the theological and structural options of the Church. They formed the "ordinary" Catholic's values and attitudes toward marriage and its components: man, woman, children, love and sexuality. In the third quarter of the twentieth century these attitudes seem stringent. They were for the XVIIth century consequences of a much needed and lasting reform. The author's aim has been to study the origins of a religious mentality.

'Ancient Greek and Semitic languages resorted to a large range of words to name the divine. Gods and goddesses were called by a variety of names and combinations of onomastic attributes. This broad lexicon of names is characterised by plurality and a tendency to build on different sequences of names; therefore, the Mapping Ancient Polytheisms project focuses on the process of naming the divine in order to better understand the ancient divine in terms of a plurality in the making. A fundamental rule for reading ancient divine names is to grasp them in their context - time and place, a ritual, the form of the discourse, a cultural milieu...: a deity is usually named according to a specific situation. From Artemis Eulochia to al-Lat, al-'Uzza and Manat, from Melqart to "my rock" in the biblical book of Psalms, this volume journeys between the sanctuary on Mount Gerizim and late antique magical practices, revisiting rituals, hymnic poetry, oaths of orators and philosophical prayers. While targeting different names in different contexts, the contributors draft theoretical propositions towards a dynamic approach of naming the divine in antiquity.'
