Terence McIntosh is a specialist of early modern Germany, especially its social, political, religious, and economic history in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. In 1997 he published Urban Decline in Early Modern Germany: Schwäbisch Hall and Its Region, 1650-1750, a case study of the process of class formation and economic and demographic change in urban communities in southwest Germany. He has since published articles and book chapters on early modern Germany's demographic and religious history and has received research grants and fellowships from the National Humanities Center, the German Academic Exchange Service, the Francke Foundations, and other organizations. His current book project, "The Pastoral Disciplining of Illicit Sex: Godly Order, Enlightenment, and the Lutheran Clergy in Germany, 1550-1835," examines how and why the pastorate's powers to punish illicit sex changed significantly in the early modern period and how these changes shaped the clergy's professional self-identity. Focusing on Saxony, Württemberg, and Brandenburg-Prussia, the study thus explores fundamental long-term transformations in the relations between church, state, and society.
