Description: From the Emeritus Professor of the History of Christianity at the University of Cambridge, Eamon Duffy's "The Stripping of the Altars" offers a profound exploration of religious life in England during the late medieval period, prior to the Reformation. The book delves into the deep-rooted traditions, rituals, and beliefs that shaped the spiritual experiences of ordinary people. Through meticulous research and vivid detail, Duffy challenges the notion that the Reformation was a necessary or welcome shift, instead highlighting the rich and complex nature of pre-Reformation Catholicism. This work reveals how a vibrant and diverse religious culture was gradually dismantled, providing a fresh perspective on the impact of the Reformation on English society and faith.
