- Summary:
- "Divided by Faith" begins in the wake of the Protestant Reformation, when the unity of western Christendom was shattered, and takes readers on a panoramic tour of Europes religious landscape--and its deep fault lines--over the next three centuries. This compelling story reveals that toleration has taken many guises in the past and suggests that it may well do the same in the future.
