The Family of Love has been subject to a variety of approaches over the years. Hostile witnesses of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries have left the impression of a sect at the same time dangerous and ludicrous, a congregation of cowards, traitors and lechers determined to undermine the visible churches and, if given the chance, to destory the state itself. A slightly more recent historiographical tendency, in existence since the second half of the nineteenth century, presents the Family of Love as a movement with far more virtues than implied by Protestant and Catholic pamphleteers.
