Civic Reformation and Religious Change in Sixteenth-Century Scottish Towns is the name of Timothy Slonosky鈥檚 new book.
The book demonstrates the crucial role of Scotland鈥檚 townspeople in the dramatic Protestant Reformation of 1560. It shows that Scottish Protestants were much more successful than their counterparts in France and the Netherlands at introducing religious change because they had the acquiescence of urban populations.
Timothy has been teaching in the Humanities department at Dawson since 2006. He graduated from Dawson鈥檚 Liberal Arts program in 1999 and went on to study history at McGill and Simon Fraser Universities. He did his PhD in Reformation history at the University of Pennsylvania.
鈥淚 started work on Civic Reformations in 2006. I was drawn to Reformation history, and religious history in general, because I鈥檓 curious about the role of religious motivations in people鈥檚 political and life choices, a topic I explore in my Humanities Worldviews class Visions, Rebellions and Elections.
