At no other time was the need for the discernment of spirits felt as strongly as in this newly confessional age. More than ever, the ability to discern was a mark of holiness and failure the product of demonic temptation. The contributions to this volume chart individual responses to a problem at the heart of religious identity. They show that the problem of discernment was not solely a Catholic concern and was an issue for authors and artists as much as for prophets and visionaries. 410 0$aStudies in Medieval and Reformation Traditions$v164. 606 $aAngels$xHistory$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 606 $aDemonology$xHistory$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 606 $aDevil$xHistory$yEarly modern, 1500-1700 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAngels$xHistory 615 0$aDemonology$xHistory 615 0$aDevil$xHistory 676 $a230.9 701 $aCopeland$b Clare$0908353 701 $aMachielsen$b Jan$0719381 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462624503321 996 $aAngels of light$92031606 997 $aUNINA
