Why should anyone apart from scholars pay any attention to Europe's
16th-century Reformation? I wrote a large book, Reformation: Europe's
House Divided 1490-1700, to show that these ancient upheavals lived on
into the present, not least because they were tangled up with the
founding of the United States. If we forget or misread the past, it
will catch up with us in unexpected places. Reformation Europe was
alarmingly similar to many parts of the modern world, especially
because in 16th-century Europe, a large proportion Catholics and
Protestants were convinced that the Last Days were about to arrive.
