In Preaching a Dual Identity, Nicholas Must examines seventeenth-century Huguenot sermons to study the development of French Reformed confessional identity under the Edict of Nantes. Of key concern is how a Huguenot hybrid identity was formulated by balancing a strong sense of religious particularism with an enthusiastic political loyalism. Must argues that sermons were an integral part of asserting this unique confessional position in both their preached and printed forms. To demonstrate this, Must explores a variety of sermon themes to access the range of images and arguments that preachers employed to articulate a particular vision of their community as a religious minority in France.

“Must’s book is an excellent study of Huguenot sermons.”
David L. Papendorf, Central Michigan University. In: The Journal of Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 70, No. 1 (January 2019), pp. 196–198.

“Must makes a convincing case about the origin, development, and power of Huguenot confessional identity under the Edict of Nantes. Furthermore, his use of seventeenth-century sermons is a credit to the field of Reformation studies and highlights the fecundity of such sources for understanding early modern Protestantism.”
Jonathan Baddley, Cambridge, MA. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 50, No. 3 (Fall 2019), pp. 853–855.

Nicholas Must, Ph.D., McMaster University, currently teaches at Wilfrid Laurier University in History and Medieval Studies. His research is focused on early modern Huguenot history.
