Christendom Destroyed: Europe 1517-1648 (The Penguin History of Europe)

â€œThe latest volume to appear in the Penguin History of Europe. Like its companion volumes, [Christendom Destroyed]Â is no breezy survey but a masterly synthesis of depth and breadth."â€”The Wall Street Journal

â€œThe political and religious conflicts of early modern Europe receive high-quality treatment from Greengrass.... Â an excellent addition to the new Penguin History of Europe.â€â€”Financial TimesÂ

From peasants to princes, no one was untouched by the spiritual and intellectual upheaval of the sixteenth century. Martin Lutherâ€™s challenge to church authorityÂ 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.Â Europe, with all its divisions, emerged instead as a geographical projection. Chronicling these dramatic changes, Thomas More, Shakespeare, Montaigne, and Cervantes created works that continue to resonate with us.
Â Â Â Spanning the years 1517 to 1648, Christendom Destroyed is Mark Greengrassâ€™s magnum opus: a rich tapestry that fosters a deeper understanding of Europeâ€™s identity today.
