Reviews
"This isn't merely 'a history' of the Reformation, but rather 'the history.'" - Michael Dirda , The Washington Post "MacCulloch brings the history of the Reformation into vivid focus, providing what must surely be the best general account available." - Financial Times "A lasting work [and] one of the most magisterial and stylishly written historical works to be published in a decade." - The Atlantic Monthly, Praise for The Reformation "This isn't merely 'a history' of the Reformation, but rather ' the history.' One would be hard put to imagine a more detailed, even-handed, clearly written account of the religious controversies of the sixteenth century. . . . The Reformation is a learned, enlightening, and disturbing masterwork." --Michael Dirda, The Washington Post Book World "Richly encyclopedic . . . MacCulloch brings the history of the Reformation into vivid focus, providing what must surely be the best general account available." --Financial Times "Monumental . . . The Reformation is set to become a landmark." --Lisa Jardine, The Observer "Handled here with brilliance, this is the kind of history that normally gives even academic historians vertigo." --The Economist "Deserves to become the standard history of early modern Europe religion and its legacy, synthesizing and assessing a quarter-century of international scholarship . . . Like the best of historians, he helps us to understand why we are; and why we need not be so." --Ronald Hutton, The Independent "Wide-ranging, richly layered and captivating . . . This spectacular intellectual history reminds us that the Reformation grew out of the Renaissance, and provides a compelling glimpse of the cultural currents that formed the background to reform. MacCulloch's magisterial book should become the definitive history of the Reformation." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "A masterpiece of readable scholarship . . . In its field it is the best book ever written." --David Edwards, The Guardian "From Politics to witchcraft, from the liturgy to sex; the sweep of European history covered here is breathtakingly panoramic. This is a model work of history." --Noel Malcolm, Sunday Telegraph "Excellent . . . There are moments of sheer pleasure. . . . MacCulloch's well-paced style makes the book seem half its length." --Felipe Fernandez-Armesto, The Sunday Times, Praise for The Reformation "A learned, enlightening, and disturbing masterwork . . . This isn't merely 'a history' of the Reformation, but rather 'the history.'" -Michael Dirda, The Washington Post "One of the most magisterial and stylishly written historical works to be published in a decade . . . MacCulloch's analyses of the lives, personalities, ideas, and struggles are at once sharp and profound. . . . A lasting work." -Benjamin Schwarz, The Atlantic "Evenhanded, learned, and profound . . . It is difficult to imagine anybody writing a better book about the Reformation." -Karen Armstong, Los Angeles Times Book Review "Superb . . . MacCulloch brings the history of the Reformation into vivid focus, providing what must surely be the best general account available." -A. C. Grayling, Financial Times "Dazzling . . . A magnificent achievement . . . It is hard not to admire a book that is such a masterpiece of learning, and yet written with a disarming lightness of touch." -Michael Howard, The Times Literary Supplement "A masterpiece of readable scholarship . . . In its field it is the best book ever written." -David Edwards, The Guardian  , Praise for The Reformation  "This isn't merely 'a history' of the Reformation, but rather ' the history.'

Synopsis
The National Book Critics Circle Award-winning history of the Reformation--from the New York Times bestselling author of Christianity At a time when men and women were prepared to kill--and be killed--for their faith, the Protestant Reformation tore the Western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch's award-winning history brilliantly re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars, and politicians--from the zealous Martin Luther and his Ninety-Five Theses to the polemical John Calvin to the radical Igantius Loyola, from the tortured Thomas Cranmer to the ambitious Philip II. Drawing together the many strands of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation, and ranging widely across Europe and the New World, MacCulloch reveals as never before how these dramatic upheavals affected everyday lives--overturning ideas of love, sex, death, and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age.
