”If you need to rid yourself of this idea, a good place to start would be to read this book”.  (Journal Religious History, 20 June 2014)

“I have no doubt that it will find a well-deserved place on the reading lists of many an undergraduate introduction to the Reformation.  I will certainly be including it in mine.”  (Journal of Ecclesiastical History, 1 April 2013)

“Overall, an excellent book.  Summing Up: Recommended.  Upper-level undergraduates and above.”  (Choice, 1 October 2012)
