Reformation: Europe's House Divided 1490-1700
by Diarmaid MacCulloch
864pp, Allen Lane, £25
On the jacket of this masterpiece of readable scholarsip, David
Starkey praises the author as "uniquely able to communicate the
religious passions of the past to the unbelief and indifference of the
present". Rightly that commendation does not pretend that this is the
only history of the 1490-1700 religious revolution to have been
published in recent years: the claim is that this one is unique
because it would help people who are more or less secular to
understand not only events which are still important but also people
who in that very different time were more or less God-intoxicated. In
its field it is the best book ever written.
