English Reformations takes a refreshing new approach to the study of the Reformation in England. Christopher Haigh's lively and readable study disproves any facile assumption that the triumph of Protestantism was inevitable, and goes beyond the surface of official political policy to explore the religious views and practices of ordinary English people. With the benefit of hindsight, other historians have traced the course of the Reformation as a series of events inescapably culminating in the creation of the English Protestant establishment. Haigh sets out to recreate the sixteenth century as a time of excitement and insecurity, with each new policy or ruler causing the reversal of earlier religious changes. This is a scholarly and stimulating book, which challenges traditional ideas about the Reformation and offers a powerful and convincing alternative analysis.

Jeho práce se hluboce zabývá složitými vztahy mezi vírou a mocí, zkoumá, jak náboženské přesvědčení formovalo politické události a jak naopak politické síly ovlivňovaly náboženskou krajinu. Haighův detailní a pronikavý přístup odhaluje nuance a často přehlížené aspekty této klíčové éry. Čtenáři ocení jeho schopnost přinášet život do minulosti a objasňovat hluboké historické proměny.
