An Interview with Diarmaid MacCulloch

An Interview with Diarmaid MacCulloch

This week's Spectator carries an interview with the distinguished Reformation scholar, Diarmaid MacCulloch.   Professor MacCulloch is perhaps the greatest living historian of the English Reformation, if not Christianity as a whole (pace the article, he is head and shoulders above David Starkey) and someone with an impressive track record of encouraging younger Reformation academics.

It will be clear from the article that he does not stand, in either theology or ethical conviction, with the Ref21 target readership.   But anyone who allows this to stop them from reading his scholarly work will leave themselves impoverished.
