Did you know @weareceu.bsky.social in #Vienna is the host of #reforc2025? It is the only transnational, English-language undergraduate- and graduate-level “crossroads” #university in Europe accredited both in the European Union and the United States.

In addition to the many other papers on Early Modern Christianity, this year's commemoration of the 500 year anniversary of the #germanpeasantwar means that #reforc2025 brings together new research and a broad geographic range of scholars to discuss the theme of Religion and Rebellion.

Looking forward to seeing all the people and discovering the content behind these numbers! #twodaystogo #earlymodernchristianity #conference #religionandrebellion #reforc2025
