Reviews / Votes
"If you need to rid yourself of this idea, a good place to start would be to read this book". (Journal Religious History, 20 June 2014)"I have no doubt that it will find a well-deserved place on the reading lists of many an undergraduate introduction to the Reformation. I will certainly be including it in mine." (Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 1 April 2013)
"Overall, an excellent book. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above." (Choice, 1 October 2012)
