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, and has remained one of the most contested. In this dazzling book, Diarmaid MacCulloch explores a turbulent and endlessly fascinating era.

'A masterly take on the Reformation ... absorbing and compelling, full of insights' Linda Hogan, Irish Times

'One of our very best public historians ... as this collection triumphantly confirms, MacCulloch writes authoritatively and engagingly on a remarkably diverse range of topics in the history of Christian culture' Peter Marshall, Literary Review

'Written with elegance and sometimes donnish wit ... he wears his learning lightly' Robert Tombs, The Times

'Dazzling ... prodigiously learned ... MacCulloch has a gift for explaining complicated things simply' Jack Scarisbrick, Catholic Herald

All Things Made New shows MacCulloch at his best - learned, far-seeing, sometimes subversive, and often witty.
