Reviews

'... a wide-ranging and erudite study that will be of value to scholars of many disciplines working in England's long sixteenth century. Furthermore, this book will reward each new reading with further insights about the role of the Ten Commandments in early modern culture.' Janice Liedl, Renaissance and Reformation 'The Reformation of the Decalogue is an outstanding achievement that adds to our knowledge of the conformity with which the English people accepted the vast changes that the Reformation brought.' Susan Wabuda, The American Historical Review
