This fast-paced survey of Western civilization’s transition from the Middle Ages to modernity brings that tumultuous period vividly to life. Carlos Eire, popular professor and gifted writer, chronicles the two-hundred-year era of the Renaissance and Reformation with particular attention to issues that persist as concerns in the present day. Eire connects the Protestant and Catholic Reformations in new and profound ways, and he demonstrates convincingly that this crucial turning point in history not only affected people long gone, but continues to shape our world and define who we are today.
The book focuses on the vast changes that took place in Western civilization between 1450 and 1650, from Gutenberg’s printing press and the subsequent revolution in the spread of ideas to the close of the Thirty Years’ War. Eire devotes equal attention to the various Protestant traditions and churches as well as to Catholicism, skepticism, and secularism, and he takes into account the expansion of European culture and religion into other lands, particularly the Americas and Asia. He also underscores how changes in religion transformed the Western secular world. A book created with students and nonspecialists in mind, Reformations is an inspiring, provocative volume for any reader who is curious about the role of ideas and beliefs in history.

一部综述。虽然篇幅很长但是由于覆盖面太广所以仍然有局部信息不足的感觉（比如激进的改革派，又如加尔文）。适合用以了解现代早期的思想背景。

评分收获颇丰，感谢十三？
评分多花了一周看完了，非常好的一本入门书，适合配合大课的lecture一起来带conference，比较符合十三周二十六个lecture的结构…个人觉得对于耶稣会可能有些过于偏爱，除此之外是不错的。上一次读到这种intro book还是Wendy Doniger的书。为作者的文笔加一星！
