by Diarmaid MacCulloch
This
book is essentially a compilation of essays and articles that
MacCulloch has written over the years, and subsequently seems somewhat
disjointed. Some chapters I enjoyed and appreciated, others were simply
tough to get through. The majority of the book is about elements of the
English Reformation, and these parts were far to detailed to be of
interest to me. He does make clear that the Anglican Church really
doesn't belong to the Protestant Reformation or the Roman Catholic
church, but formed in an ongoing tension between the two. I was
disappointed in this book since I had high expectations from reading
some of MacCulloch's other works.
