?? a model combination of scholarship and readability? Thomas Hamm, Emeritus Professor of History, Earlham College. Author of The Quakers in America ?? highly readable and engaging? Robynne Rogers Healey, Professor of History, Trinity Western University ?? a book at once both lively and authoritative? Stephen K.

Jackson van Uden, History with Jackson & BBC History Extra ?30 under 30? ?A vivid and groundbreaking account? Estelle Paranque, Author of Thorns, Lust and Glory: The Betrayal of Anne Boleyn ?Insightful and engaging, this balanced account brings their convictions and struggles to life, while revealing the bold, disruptive strategies these spiritual revolutionaries employed to achieve their ends.?
