This research monograph is a long needed one volume approach to not only the subject but to the extensive contributions to English religious history made by Duffy, MacCulloch, Wormsley, Haigh and a number of others. Its great strength is positing an armature of viviparous politics and social tensions that continually broke down attempts at a single vision for Anglicanism despite all official Church and State efforts.

Antonia Southern's narrative is deeply informed and intelligently wrought...In fact, in House Divided, Southern integrates a wide variety of materials-biographical, political, textual, and theological-into a surprisingly singular history. For the first time, for instance, I came to see the sixteenth-century English rebellions as coherent parts of a larger cultural and religious history rather than periodic disruptions. More important, I finished this book admiring its erudition and glad that it had found its way onto my bookshelf." - Dr Mary Jane Barnett, Tyndale Quarterly
