Description: Judith Pollmann uses the diaries and memoirs of sixteenth-century Catholics to explore how they understood and experienced the religious civil war that ripped the sixteenth-century Netherlands apart.
Review Quotes: "Pollman's careful research and her shrewd conclusions make this book essential, not just for academic libraries supporting European or Church history, but for modern Catholics interested in how the lessons taught by the intelligent, devout Dutch laity might be applicable in the twenty-first century Church."--Catholic Library World
"Thoroughly researched, elegantly written, and splendidly conceived, this book deserves careful attention from all students of the Catholic Reformation."--The Catholic Historical Review
