Historian Professor Peter Marshall talks to fellow academic and author of the History of Christianity Professor Sir Diarmaid MacCulloch about the reformation, its impact on the world and his editing of a new Oxford Illustrated History of the Reformation. The Reformation was a huge event in world history that laid the foundations for the world we live in today. The Oxford Illustrated History of the Reformation has been written by a number of experts including Marshall. It shows how Martin Luther’s original protests in 1517 exploded into arguments over how God’s will was to be interpreted that reshaped religion and politics. And it explains how the Reformation laid the foundations for the plural and conflicted world we live in today.

Marshall is professor of history at the University of Warwick and author of six books on the Reformation. He is often on television and radio discussing the Reformation and the history of Christianity. MacCulloch is a broadcaster, writer and historian well known for his 2009 BBC TV series and book, A History of Christianity.
