In its field it is the best book ever' Guardian\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWinner of the Wolfson Prize for history, Reformation: Europe's House Divided 1490-1700 charts a seismic shift in European culture that marked the beginning of the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAt a time when men and women were prepared to kill - and be killed - for their faith, the Reformation tore the western world apart. Acclaimed as the definitive account of these epochal events, Diarmaid MacCulloch's history brilliantly re-creates the religious battles of priests, monarchs, scholars and politicians, from the zealous Martin Luther nailing his Theses to the door of a Wittenburg church to the radical Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Jesuit order; from Thomas Cranmer, martyred for his reforms, to the ambitious Philip II, unwavering in his campaign against Europe's 'heretics'.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWeaving together the many strands of Reformation and Counter-Reformation, ranging widely across Europe and even to the new world, MacCulloch also reveals as never before how these upheavals affected everyday lives - overturning ideas of love, sex, death and the supernatural, and shaping the modern age.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'Magisterial and eloquent'\u003cbr\u003e\nDavid Starkey\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'A triumph of human sympathy'\u003cbr\u003e\nBlair Worden, Sunday Telegraph\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n'From politics to witchcraft, from the liturgy to sex; the sweep of European history covered here is breathtakingly panoramic.
