The Stripping of the Altars: Traditional Religion in England, 1400–1580 by Eamon Duffy
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.2 MB
Overview: This prize-winning account of the pre-Reformation church recreates lay people’s experience of religion in fifteenth-century England. Eamon Duffy shows that late medieval Catholicism was neither decadent nor decayed, but was a strong and vigorous tradition, and that the Reformation represented a violent rupture from a popular and theologically respectable religious system. For this edition, Duffy has written a new Preface reflecting on recent developments in our understanding of the period.
From reviews of the first edition:
A magnificent scholarly achievement [and] a compelling read.
Genre: Non-Fiction > History
