The Reformation was the pivotal event in the past millennium of European history. It, and the Counter-Reformation which it provoked, violently upturned the medieval world and set in motion the modern. As we approach five-hundredth anniversary of the momentous events which triggered the European Reformation, Diarmaid MacCulloch reflects on his long career of writing on this historical turning-point. From a quarter-century of his writings, he gathers together a varied selection of topical essays, introducing not only the Reformation in its widest impact across Europe, but also the Catholic Counter-Reformation, and the special evolution of religion in England. This collection takes the reader beyond MacCulloch's previous work, to explore the original conflicts and cut through prejudices which still distort understanding of a religious divide still with us after five centuries.
