At St. Mary's University in Calgary, our faculty continue to make remarkable contributions to academia, shedding light on complex issues that shape our world. One such outstanding achievement comes from Dr. Adam Hill, whose recent article, "Burning Moderation: Navigating Religious Conflict with Cuthbert Tunstall's Humanism (1474-1559)," has earned significant recognition in the academic community.
Dr. Hill's deep dive into the life of Cuthbert Tunstall, a largely overlooked yet pivotal figure in the English Reformation, highlights the scholar's passion for uncovering lesser-known aspects of history. "It didn't matter which king or queen was in power; there was Tunstall!" Dr. Hill reflects. His curiosity about Tunstall's persistence throughout such a tumultuous period in history led him to explore why this humanist scholar remained so relevant for so long. "The fact that he could remain so relevant during such a contentious moment in English history suggests that maybe we should pay attention to him," says Dr. Hill.
