Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCullochâs award-winning new history brilliantly re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars, and politiciansâfrom the zealous Martin Luther to the radical Loyola, from the tortured 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 livesâoverturning ideas of love, sex, death, and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age.
