The Tragic Scene of Early Modern Reading --Abbreviations --Notes --IndexAmid present-day conflagrations, this illuminating book reminds us of the sources, and profound consequences, of Christian fundamentalism in the sixteenth century. Simpson focuses on the cultural transformation in early modern England that allowed common people to read the Bible for the first time. The last wave of fundamentalist reading in the West provoked 150 years of violent upheaval; as we approach a second wave, this powerful book alerts us to our peril.ReadingGreat BritainChurch history16th centuryReading.274.206HI 1150rvkSimpson James1954-1651748MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813525603321Burning to read4065889UNINA
