For an efficient survey of the literature, see Owen Chadwick, The History of the Church: A Select Bibliography, 3rd rev. edn (Historical Association, London, 1973). There are short surveys, again with bibliographies, in The Pelican History of the Church, vols.
3, 4 and 5, by Owen Chadwick, G.R. Cragg and Alec R. Vidler, and in A Short History of the Catholic Church (London, 1984), by J. Derek Holmes and Bernard W. Bickers. Of the projected definitive volumes in the Oxford History of the Christian Church, only one, The Popes and European Revolution (Oxford, 1981), by Owen Chadwick, essentially on the eighteenth-century Catholic Church outside France, has so far appeared. Volumes 3 and 4 in K.S. Latourette, A History of the Expansion of Christianity, new edn, 7 vols. (London, 1971), and the modern volumes of A. Fliche and V. Martin (eds.), Histoire de I’Eglise (Paris, 1934-) from a Protestant and Roman Catholic viewpoint respectively, provide more detailed and conventional surveys of the subject, while a more sociological approach is to be found in two magnificent survey volumes by Jean Delumeau, Naissance et affirmation de la Reforme (Paris, 1968), andLe Catholicisme entre Luther et Voltaire (Paris, 1971); in John Bossy, Christianity in the West, 1400-1700 (Oxford, 1985); and in Hugh McLeod, Religion and the People of Western Europe, 1789-1970 (Oxford, 1981).On the history of thought, see H. Cunliffe-Jones, Christian Theology since 1600 (London, 1970), andJ.C. Livingstone, Modern Christian Thought: From the Enlightenment to Vatican II (New York, 1971), and, more heroically, C. Andresen (ed.), Handbuch der Dogmen-und Theologiegeschichte (Gottingen, 1980-4): though after 1600, the history of ideas tends to be treated out of context with a wider religious, political and social history. For individuals and movements, see F.L. Cross and E. A. Livingstone (eds.), The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church, 2nd edn (London, 1974), and J.D. Douglas (ed.), The New International Dictionary of the Christian Church (Exeter, 1974), the former with excellent bibliographies. Cross and Livingstone take a more ‘Catholic’ perspective, Douglas a more ‘Protestant’. Also indispensable are the larger religious encyclopedias, Die Religion in Geschichte und Gegenwart (1957-65); Dictionnaire de Theologie Catholique (1903—); The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge (1951-4); and the New Catholic Encyclopedia (1967-), all of which contain a wealth of specialist information. Much about the history of the Church can also be gleaned at a general level, from the new Fontana History of Europe, and at a specialist level, from The New Cambridge Modern History.
