Reviews
"Probably the most prolific, and arguably the most learned, religious historian of his generation, W. R. Ward...has produced an admirable synthesis of his many years of labor on the history of early modern Christianity in Britain and continental Europe....a compressed and compact narrative that will repay reading, and then reading again." David Hempton, Books & Culture
