Reformation in Britain and Ireland (Oxford History of the Christian Church)

ISBN: 0198269242

Author: Heal, Felicity

Condition: New

This is an innovative volume which studies the coming of reform in the sixteenth century more broadly than do traditional national narratives of religious change. It argues for an interactive and comparative understanding of this crucial dimension of British and Irish history. Through the examination of political choices, of ecclesiastical structures, and of individual religious attitudes, it seeks to explain the success or failure of Protestantism in these islands.
