In an era of intense religious conflict in Europe and ongoing exploration of the lands beyond Europe, Cï¿½rï¿½monies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde (1723-37) set a new agenda for thinking about faith and provided a lasting visual template for representing the world's religions. In the work's seven massive volumes, Jean Frederic Bernard and the renowned engraver Bernard Picart invited readers to view religions and their institutions as cultural practices. Bernard Picart and the First Global Vision of Religion approaches this much-cited but little-studied work from a variety of angles. Its fifteen scholarly essays examine Bernard and Picart's authorial and artistic strategies, the handling of religious difference in Cï¿½rï¿½monies et coutumes religieuses, and the cultural context that fostered the creation of one of the most influential works of comparative religion ever published.

Het vierde deel van Stad en Platteland Zeeland, dat in het Engels zal verschijnen, vormt de synthese van het project. Hier komen de lijnen, die in de andere delen zijn uitgezet, samen. Het boek gaat ten eerste in op het probleem van ontstedelijking (theorievorming), ten tweede op het belang en het effect van de integrale benadering.
