Aspects of English Protestantism C.1530–1700 (Politics, Culture and Society in Early Modern Britain) - Hardcover
During the 16th century, England underwent a religious revolution. This work examines the reverberations of this Protestant Reformation, which continued to be felt until at least the end of the 17th century. The volume brings together 12 essays by Nicholas Tyacke about English Protestantism, which range from the Reformation itself, and the new market-place of ideas opened up, to the establishment of freedom of worship for Protestant nonconformists in 1689. Nicholas Tyacke is best known for his interpretation of the religious origins of the English Civil war, as a struggle between Calvinists and Arminians, and three essays on this much-debated topic are included here. A further three essays are devoted to the history of Puritanism, where he identifies a radical tradition, running from the reign of Elizabeth I to that of Charles I, while voicing scepticism about alleged links with the rise of capitalism. Other essays deal with Archbishop Laud, the theology of the Restoration Church, and the question of the relationship between religion and science. For this collection the author has written a substantial introduction, and updated essays by incorporating new research.
