The Reformation: A History by Diarmaid MacCulloch
challenging
informative
slow-paced
5.0
Is it impenetrable? Occasionally, yes. Is it long? Very. Is it the best book I’ve read on the subject, hands down? 100%.
This is not an introductory work, but it is impeccably cited, incredibly thorough, and deeply fascinating. Also manages to not be racist, sexist, or homophobic, which are all accomplishments. It deals extensively with the impact of the Reformation on women and those today who would be queer--and it does so very well
