Overview
The Reformation in Britain and Ireland is a new and wide-ranging introduction to the Reformation throughout the British Isles. Full treatment is given to the fascinating and often very different but interrelated experiences in England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland.
The approach is unique. Previous introductions have invariably concentrated on England, with lesser sections on Wales and Scotland, often ignoring Ireland altogether. This volume is more than a modern introduction, survey, and summary of the Reformation period. Ian Hazlett provides fresh research and critical analysis, which will be of considerable interest to a new generation of scholars and students. The material is written and organized in a highly readable and accessible form. Here is a well-balanced introduction and resource for non-specialists as well as scholars and students.

Top Highlights
“civil authority arrogated to itself also the role of arbiter of doctrine. England now had a ‘resident Royal Pope’.4” (Page 38)
“striking similarity between the English Church constitutional model and that of the Zwinglian Church constitution” (Page 38)
“three Parliaments, in London, Dublin and Edinburgh.” (Page 22)
Really refreshing to see the Reformation in the British Isles viewed in a proper European theological perspective. . . One of those books which really needed to be written.
