Reviews

Mentioned in the Church Times' "new titles just published" section.
*Church Times*

This book is a collection of essays on various aspects of early modern English religion which Duffy has written over the past fifteen years, complemented by a few previously unpublished pieces. Collections like that can be annoyingly miscellaneous, but here the stronger impression is of the unity of his body of work. A series of strong, consistent ideas emerges. Nobody who knows Duffy’s robust approach to the Reformation will be surprised by anything that is here, but they will still find it worth reading.
*Theology*

There is something compelling and even thrilling about Duffy's combination of cutting-edge historical scholarship and effortless prose.
