• John Wycliffe and the Lollards
• The Protestant Reformation
• The Catholic Counter-Reformation

The November 2016 edition is much enlarged, completely revised, and is accompanied by 11 PowerPoint presentations with more than 1,100 slides and video clips, plus new maps. The new book The Bible and Western Society is a companion text to this course.
