History Of The Progress And Suppression Of The Reformation In Spain In The Sixteenth Century

""History Of The Progress And Suppression Of The Reformation In Spain In The Sixteenth Century"" is a comprehensive account of the religious and political upheavals that took place in Spain during the 16th century. Written by Thomas McCrie, a Scottish historian and biographer, the book explores the rise of Protestantism in Spain and the subsequent efforts of the Catholic Church and the Spanish government to suppress it. McCrie provides a detailed analysis of the key figures and events that shaped the Reformation in Spain, including the role of the Inquisition, the persecution of Protestants, and the efforts of reformers to spread their message despite intense opposition. He also examines the wider cultural and political context in which these events took place, exploring the impact of the Renaissance, the rise of humanism, and the changing attitudes towards religion and authority in Europe.Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, including contemporary accounts, official documents, and personal correspondence, McCrie provides a rich and nuanced portrait of this complex and often turbulent period in Spanish history. His book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of the Reformation, the Catholic Church, or early modern Europe more broadly.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
