Career
Bossy was educated at Cambridge University. He has lived and lectured in London and Belfast and has been a member of the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton.[2]
Bossy has specialised in the history of religion, particularly in that of Christianity during the Reformation period and beyond. According to some commentators, his approach has fused together elements of disciplines such as sociology and theology.[3]
His Ph.D. thesis was written on the relations between French and English Catholics during the period of the Renaissance[4] which contained within it the seeds of later work regarding Michel de Castelnau.[5]
He has written for the London Review of Books.[6]
He has been at the University of York since 1979.
