At the same time the Protestant Reformation attempted to take the magic out of religion, and scientists were developing new explanations of the universe. Keith Thomas's classic analysis of beliefs held on every level of English society begins with the collapse of the medieval Church and ends with the changing intellectual atmosphere around 1700, when science and rationalism began to challenge the older systems of belief.Country/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Keith ThomasGenre: HistoryTopic: Society & Culture, Philosophy & SpiritualityRelease Year: 2003 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
