All Things Made New

Writings on the Reformation




A brilliant kaleidoscope on the Reformation from 'one of the best historians writing in English today' (Sunday Telegraph)

The Reformation which engulfed England and Europe in the sixteenth century was one of the most highly-charged, bloody and transformative periods in their history. Ever since, it has remained one of the most contested. Diarmaid MacCulloch is one of the leading British historians of this turbulent and endlessly fascinating era. Many essays in this volume expand upon his now classic Reformation: Europe's House Divided, tracing, for example, the evolution of the English Prayer Book and Bible or reassessing the impact of the Reformation on Catholicism. All Things Made New shows MacCulloch at his best - learned, far-seeing, sometimes subversive, and often witty.

Praise for All Things Made New

MacCulloch not only brings a lifetime's learning to bear on his subject, but writes with vigour, empathy and wit ... about identity and memory, about the importance of myths and why historians need to challenge them.

Malcolm Gaskill, Financial Times

All Things Made New is a serious book on a serious subject. It is written with elegance and sometimes donnish wit

Robert Tombs, The Times

MacCulloch is ... able to write authoritatively and engagingly on a remarkably diverse range of topics in the history of Christian culture and thought.

Peter Marshall, Literary Review
