Burning to Read: English Fundamentalism and its Reformation Opponents, by James Simpson

“In his provocative new study, “Burning to Read: English Fundamentalism and Its Reformation Opponents,” James Simpson undertakes a bold reassessment not only of Thomas More as embattled “defender of the faith,” but of the English Reformation itself. His focus is quite specific; he identifies the years 1520 to 1547 as crucial. Though Martin Luther had nailed his inflammatory 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517, it was during these tumultuous later years that the Reformation established itself decisively in much of Britain.” Read the review at the New York Sun.

That’s important, especially since tight global supplies are one reason for $95-a-barrel oil right now." [ Read the rest of the interview ]
