THE REFORMATION: A HISTORY By Diarmaid MacCulloch Viking, 792 pages, $34.95

Who or what is a Catholic? This is the question Diarmaid MacCulloch poses at the beginning of his monumental history of the Reformation period and how it transformed the religious, political and social landscape of the West. The Oxford University professor of the history of the church uses this as his starting point because, he writes, "there were very many different Reformations, nearly all of which would have said that they were aimed simply at recreating authentic Catholic Christianity."
