(Program 11420)
Joseph Pearce

Today’s guest tells us that one of the really big errors a history student can make is to confuse the Protestant Reformation that took place in Europe with the English Reformation that took place in England. And yet another mistake would be for the student to think there was no other reformation besides these two.

What is the English Reformation, how is it similar to and different from the Protestant Reformation of the Continent, and what is meant by the Catholic Reformation or the Counter-reformation as it is often called?

Here to tell us something about the world at that time and the significance of these moments in it, is our guest, Joseph Pearce.
