Description
A lively and expansive history of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations and their impact on Western civilization. This fast-paced survey brings to life the tumultuous period between 1450 and 1650, when the Renaissance and Reformation transformed the world. Carlos Eire explores this pivotal era in new and profound ways, revealing how it continues to shape our world today. The book focuses on the vast changes that took place during this time, from the spread of ideas facilitated by Gutenberg's printing press to the close of the Thirty Years' War. Eire devotes equal attention to Protestant traditions, Catholicism, skepticism, and secularism, as well as the expansion of European culture into other lands. This thought-provoking volume is ideal for anyone curious about the role of ideas and beliefs in history, making it a compelling read for both students and nonspecialists alike.
