The Reformation

This title examines the complex chemistry of ideas, motives and events that fuelled the movement known as the Reformation.

It seeks to consider the religious, cultural, social, economic and political factors that led the Reformation and to analyze its many different expressions and outcomes throughout Christendom.

The volume is part of a series which presents two-part investigations of major events or significant eras in world history.

A detailed narrative provides an analysis of the immediate significance of events, and their place in the bigger picture, going on to examine the consequences of these events and their impact both on contemporaries and the generations that have followed.
