Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating glimpse into a historical controversy that shook the foundations of the Church of England. Examining the 1709-1710 impeachment trial of Anglican priest Henry Sacheverell, the author expertly illuminates the religious and political tensions of the time. The trial, sparked by Sacheverell's incendiary sermon on obedience and nonconformity, exposed deep divisions within the Church and the nation at large.
