Anglicans and Puritans?: Presbyterianism and English Conformist Thought from Whitgift to Hooker Lake Peter
Originally published in 1988, this was the first full and scholarly account of the formal Elizabethan and Jacobean debates between Presbyterians and conformists concerning the government of the church. The originality and complexity of Richard Hooker's thought is discussed and the extent to which Hooker redefined the essence of English Protestantism. This book shed new light on the crucial disagreements between puritans and conformists and the importance of these divisions for political processes within both the church and wider society.
The book will be of interest to historians of the late 16th and 17th Centuries and to those interested in church history and the development of Protestantism.
