"In this stunning, powerful, and ultimately persuasive book, Rodney Stark argues that some of our most firmly held ideas about history, ideas that paint the Catholic Church in the least positive light are, in fact, fiction. Why have we held these wrongheaded ideas so strongly and for so long? And if our beliefs are wrong, what, in fact, is the truth?"

The Grantchester Mysteries: Sidney Chambers and the dangers of temptation by James Runcie (Bloomsbury, £7.99 (£7.20); 978-1-4088-7023-5). New in paperback.

"It's the summer of love in late 1960s England. Basil D'Oliveira has just been dropped from the English cricket team before for a test series in apartheid South Africa; the war in Biafra dominates the news; and the Apollo 11 astronauts are preparing to land on the moon. In the midst of all this change, Sidney Chambers, now Archdeacon of Ely Cathedral, is still up to his amateur sleuthing investigations."
