In A History of Christianity, the Oxford scholar Diarmaid MacCulloch - a keen observer of ecclesiastical history and religious conflict - warns against facile and glib constructions of the past. “There is no surer basis for fanaticism than bad history, which is invariably history oversimplified,” he writes. Historians, MacCulloch asserts, “should seek to promote sanity” (MacCulloch 2009, 12).
