Críticas:

"This book is a major achievement by a senior historian with a long history of prolific and insightful scholarship. It will become one of those cherished classics that change the way we think."-Teofilo F. Ruiz, UCLA -- Teofilo F. Ruiz "Stuart Schwartz widens the road to religious tolerance with fascinating new examples from Portugal, Spain and their American colonies. Tradesmen, farmers, and slaves argue a down-to-earth relativism as independently as any radical scholar. An important book for understanding what leads people to accept difference and a source of hope for our own time."-Natalie Zemon Davis, author of Trickster Travels: A Sixteenth-Century Muslim Between Worlds "In this superb and strikingly original book, Stuart Schwartz raises an audacious thesis that is sure to excite attention and controversy."-Felipe Fernndez-Armesto, Tufts University "Not many academic histories make you laugh out loud. Schwartz shows ordinary people using vulgarity and humor to convince inquisitors that sex between single people was no sin, and that all sincere believers (Muslim, Christians, Protestants) would be saved-even though they knew such defiance normally led to savage punishments. This is a book you must read."-Geoffrey Parker, author of The Grand Strategy of Philip II "Schwartz argues eloquently and convincingly. . . . A flowing narrative that is at once gripping and enlightening. . . . All Can Be Saved should prove to be a very important contribution to our understanding of religious belief, past and present." -- Carlos Eire "Books & Culture" (11/01/2008) 0;Not many academic histories make you laugh out loud.
