The book presents a comprehensive framework for understanding the religious culture of peasants in Lesser Poland during the early modern era. Its central research focus revolves around the profound influence of religion on the lives and attitudes of these rural communities as they navigated the significant religious and social transformations brought about by the introduction of the Tridentine reform of the Catholic Church during the period spanning from the height of the Reformation movements in Poland to the Enlightenment reforms and the collapse of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. Given the study's emphasis on an illiterate group, its concerns primarily revolve around the concept of external religiosity among peasants, delving into its social, communal, and economic dimensions, as well as its profound impact on the formation of social ethics, individual morals, beliefs, and folk rituals.

The book offers a comprehensive model of religious culture of peasants of the Lesser Poland in the early modern times.
