About this product

Product Information

The years following the Reformation were a time of tumultuous change, as Europe was torn apart.Christendom Destroyedis the rich, compelling history of an era that saw spiritual and intellectual upheaval, savage wars and revolution, yet also the birth of Europe as we know it. Mark Greengrass's gripping, major, original account of Europe in an era of tumultuous change SUNDAY TIMES and FINANCIAL TIMES Books of the Year 2014 This addition to the landmark Penguin History of Europe series is a fascinating study of 16th and 17th century Europe and the fundamental changes which led to the collapse of Christendom and established the geographical and political frameworks of Western Europe as we know it. From peasants to princes, no one was untouched by the spiritual and intellectual upheaval of this era. Martin Luther's challenge to church authority forced Christians to examine their beliefs in ways that shook the foundations of their religion. The subsequent divisions, fed by dynastic rivalries and military changes, fundamentally altered the relations between ruler and ruled. Geographical and scientific discoveries challenged the unity of Christendom as a belief-community. Europe, with all its divisions, emerged instead as a geographical projection. It was reflected in the mirror of America, and refracted by the eclipse of Crusade in ambiguous relationships with the Ottomans and Orthodox Christianity. Chronicling these dramatic changes, Thomas More, Shakespeare, Montaigne and Cervantes created works which continue to resonate with us. Christendom Destroyed is a rich tapestry that fosters a deeper understanding of Europe's identity today. 'The Penguin History of Europe series ... is one of contemporary publishing's great projects' New Statesman

An erudite study of the period.
“Christendom Destroyed” is the fifth volume in the Penguin history of Europe series and easily maintains the high quality of the previous books, being a thorough and erudite study of the Reformation period to the Peace of Westphalia (1517-1648). Mark Greengrass vividly depicts Europe’s transition from Christendom, a “belief community” or “reflexive construction” (p. xxvii) consisting of a multitude of parishes owing allegiance to the pope and Holy Roman Emperor, to a physical geographic entity made up of disparate states frequently at war with one another over matters of religion. He offers a lucid account of the European community in the early sixteen century, covering, for example, population trends, rural and urban life, the role of the nobility, colonisation, trade and economic ... “Christendom Destroyed” is the fifth volume in the Penguin history of Europe series and easily maintains the high quality of the previous books, being a thorough and erudite study of the Reformation period to the Peace of Westphalia (1517-1648). Mark Greengrass vividly depicts Europe’s transition from Christendom, a “belief community” or “reflexive construction” (p. xxvii) consisting of a multitude of parishes owing allegiance to the pope and Holy Roman Emperor, to a physical geographic entity made up of disparate states frequently at war with one another over matters of religion. He offers a lucid account of the European community in the early sixteen century, covering, for example, population trends, rural and urban life, the role of the nobility, colonisation, trade and economic development, education and learning, monetary inflation, the impact of climate change and religious perceptions. Key factors which led to the Reformation are charted such as the new learning of the Renaissance which challenged the scholasticism of the medieval period (e.g. the Pyrrhonian scepticism of Sextus Empiricus), the growth of “conglomerate states” ruled by dynasties, Valois-Habsburg rivalry, the development of printing to spread new ideas and the preoccupation of popes with the temporal affairs of the papal states. In the new Europe of “cuius regio, eius religio” the authority of the pope was replaced by that of territorial rulers. The conciliar movement further reduced the role of the papacy as the promoter of Christendom. The doctrines of Luther, Zwingli. Calvin and those of lesser sects are analysed and the various wars of religion are described in all their ghastly horror. The book contains four maps, five helpful genealogies and thirty-eight illustrations. I have very few criticisms, though I would point out that Julius Caesar was not a Roman emperor (p. 275); his office at the time of his assassination was dictator for life. On page 326 “latter” (l. 11) should be “last” and on page 368 “exile” (l. 10) should read “exiled”.
