Why is it important?
This is the most extensive assessment available for the early modern era on the role of gender and sexuality in the religious tensions among Continental Protestant religious groups on both sides of the Atlantic.
Perspectives
This work has been significantly praised and attacked by people who have not read or considered it carefully (especially in the latter case). Read it for yourself, but only if you think (as I do) that gender and sexuality are actually important in religion and religious conflict.
