"If we care about [the] history [of belief] . . . this book is a terrific place to begin."---Alec Ryrie, Church Times
"The Birth of Modern Belief is an eminently important book that also happens to be excellently written. It is a highly valuable contribution to religious studies’ ongoing debates over the concept of belief, and it should be read by not only anyone interested in the concept—although they especially should read it—but by just about anyone working in the study of religion."---Jason Blum, Reading Religion
"This game-changing book will alter the way you understand the history and nature of belief in the West from the Middle Ages to our own time."
"A fine and important book."---Dominic Erdozain, Modern Believing
Ethan H. Shagan is professor of history at the University of California, Berkeley. He is the author of The Rule of Moderation: Violence, Religion, and the Politics of Restraint in Early Modern England and Popular Politics and the English Reformation. He lives in Orinda, California.
