Description

Reformation Europe's House Divided 1490-1700 by Diarmaid MacCulloch A seismic shift in European culture marked the beginning of the modern world. In this masterpiece, Diarmaid MacCulloch charts the Reformation's impact on the western world, where men and women were prepared to kill for their faith. The book brilliantly re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars, and politicians, from the zealous Martin Luther to the ambitious Philip II. The Reformation tore the western world apart, but MacCulloch also reveals how these upheavals affected everyday lives, overturning ideas of love, sex, death, and the supernatural. This panoramic sweep of European history covers politics, witchcraft, liturgy, and sex, making it a monumental work of history. Diarmaid MacCulloch, Professor of the History of the Church at Oxford University, brings human sympathy to this monumental subject, making it a triumph of historical narrative.
