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. 606 $aReading 607 $aGreat Britain$xChurch history$y16th century 615 0$aReading. 676 $a274.206 686 $aHI 1150$2rvk 700 $aSimpson$b James$f1954-$01804976 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910962443603321 996 $aBurning to read$94353306 997 $aUNINA
