Heretics & Heroes Book

How Renaissance Artists and Reformation Priests Saved Our World. From the inimitable bestselling author Thomas Cahill, another popular history—this one focusing on how the innovations of the Renaissance and the Reformation changed the Western world. A truly revolutionary book. Cahill sets his delightfully analytic mind to the major transformations prompted by the Renaissance and Reformation . . . [he] makes it seem so simple to connect the dots, as the 14th through 16th centuries witnessed changes to every facet and walk of life--from the expulsion of the Moors in Spain to the emergence of nations and massive religious upheaval. The breadth of Cahill's knowledge and his jocular style of writing make for a remarkable book." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review About the Author THOMAS CAHILL's appealing approach to distant history has won the attention of millions of readers in North America and beyond.
