The English Reformation: A Series of Unintended Consequences
Manage episode 396176819 series 3320573
In this episode we interview Professor Alec Ryrie of Durham University in the UK on the topic of the English Reformation. England was the most diverse in its reforming efforts and the conflicts that arose in the 16th and 17th centuries would have enduring implications for Great Britain and for their Colonial possessions in North America. Professor Ryrie helps us examine this tumultuous period and its influence on our Anglo-American history.
Professor Ryrie has degrees from both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in History and Theology. The focus of his research is in the English Reformation and Protestantism more widely. He is currently a Professor of the History of Christianity at Durham University, UK and has been a featured lecturer for the Gresham College Series.
