Abstract
In this article, I note a renewed interest in religion over the last ten years in the field of early modern cultural studies, and suggest that as cultural studies has developed it has often overlooked religion in favor of seemingly secular topics. I also claim that recent studies in religious culture reveal a wish to appreciate aspects of early modern culture that are among the most alien to us today and to understand the manner in which religious discourses permeated virtually every aspect of life then. While the religious beliefs of the past may challenge or elude the grasp of a secular scholarship, the possibility at least of trying to understand these beliefs and what they meant to those who possessed them remains.
