This book details the sources—and profound consequences—of 16th-century Christian fundamentalism. Simpson focuses on the cultural transformation in England that allowed common people to read the Bible for the first time. The last wave of reading provoked 150 years of violent upheaval; as we approach a second wave, this book alerts us to our peril.
