The Early Stuart Church, 1603-1642

by Kenneth Fincham (Editor)

The early Stuart Church became a battlefield for rival visions of English society. Fincham's collection of essays grapples with contentious issues in the interpretation of early British history including the nature of the protracted English Reformation, the prevailing theology and ethos of the reformed English church, the role played in church and society by the first two Stuart monarchs, and the origins of the political and religious upheavals of the 17th century.

[Daniel Burton]

A brilliant introduction to the complex and sometimes ignored history of the Jacobean and Stuart Church of England. Many new avenues of research are suggested by the contributors alongside a rich variety of different historiographical stances.
