Reformation Divided: Catholics, Protestants and the conversion of England by Eamon Duffy (Bloomsbury, £30 (£27); /978-1-4729-3436-9).

"Published to mark the 500th anniversary of the events of 1517, Reformation Divided explores the impact in England of the cataclysmic transformations of European Christianity in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries."

 

God’s Belongers: How people engage with God today and how the Church can help by David Walker (BRF, £7.99 (£7.20); 978-0-85746-467-5).

"This book transforms thinking about church membership by replacing the division between 'members' and 'non-members' with a four-fold model of belonging. Based in extensive practical research, David Walker shows how 'belonging' can encompass a far wider group of people than those who attend weekly services."
