In the first study of Episcopal reforming activity in France during the period 1190-1789, Michael Hayden and Malcolm Greenshields uncover a wealth of new information on the origins of the Catholic Reformation. 600 Years of Reform argues that the origins of the reform do not date back to the sixteenth or seventeenth century, as most scholars believe, but as far back as the twelfth century.
