It significantly revises our understanding of central episodes and issues in the English Reformation, the nature of early English Protestantism and the development of Puritanism.Trade Review'A much needed corrective to earlier interpretations of the English Reformation and a major contribution of early modern intellectual history. If radicalism sits at the heart of religious reform, then this forces scholars to reassess the nature of religious debate and the origins of English puritanism. Scholars in Renaissance studies, Christian theology, and political theory will find this book an invaluable resource.' Christopher Petrakos, Anglican and Episcopal HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction: remembering the Tuesday Sabbath; 1. Radical reformation and the Henrician church; 2. Not peace but a sword; 3.

Cambridge University Press Richard Bancroft and Elizabethan AntiPuritanism Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Book SynopsisThis major new study is an exploration of the Elizabethan Puritan movement through the eyes of its most determined and relentless opponent, Richard Bancroft, later Archbishop of Canterbury. It analyses his obsession with the perceived threat to the stability of the church and state presented by the advocates of radical presbyterian reform. The book forensically examines Bancroft's polemical tracts and archive of documents and letters, casting important new light on religious politics and culture. Focussing on the ways in which anti-Puritanism interacted with Puritanism, it also illuminates the process by which religious identities were forged in the early modern era. The final book of Patrick Collinson, the pre-eminent historian of sixteenth-century England, this is the culmination of a lifetime of seminal work on the English Reformation and its ramifications.Trade Review'A work of formidable scholarship which explores the Puritan movement through the eyes of its most relentless opponent. Historians of the North will be particularly interested in Bancroft's dealings with successive archbishops of York.' Northern History'This volume is part of the Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History and is produced to a high standard with an index and footnotes. With Collinson's other writings, it is an essential tool for those interested in the puritanism of late Elizabethan England.' Congregational History Society Magazine'Collinson portrays perceptively what Bancroft did in defending the Church of England.' Alen Boyer, The Seventeenth CenturyTable of ContentsPreface Alexandra Walsham and John Morrill; 1. Introduction; 2. Beginnings; 3. Battle commences; 4. The 1580s: Whitgift, Hatton and the High Commission; 5. Martin Marprelate; 6. What Bancroft found, and didn't find, in the godly ministers' studies; 7. Out of the frying pan, into the fire and out again; 8. Prayer, fasting, and the world of spirits: the other face; 9. Possession, dispossession, fraud and polemics; 10.

Cambridge University Press The Politics of Wine in Early Modern France
Book SynopsisIn the late fifteenth century, Burgundy was incorporated in the kingdom of France. This, coupled with the advent of Protestantism in the early sixteenth century, opened up new avenues for participation in public life by ordinary Burgundians and led to considerably greater interaction between the elites and the ordinary people. Mack Holt examines the relationship between the ruling and popular classes from Burgundy''s re-incorporation into France in 1477 until the Lanturelu riot in Dijon in 1630, focusing on the local wine industry. Indeed, the vineyard workers were crucial in turning back the tide of Protestantism in the province until 1630 when, following royal attempts to reduce the level of popular participation in public affairs, Louis XIII tried to remove them from the city altogether. More than just a local study, this book shows how the popular classes often worked together with local elites to shape policies that affected them.Trade Review'This beautiful book makes Dijon an observation post for the profound transformations that affected the entire kingdom in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. And we are in debt to its author for having the knowledge to guide the reader with the clarity and pedagogy of a master.' Jérôme Loiseau, Translated from Annales de Bourgogne'This is a compelling and detailed study which surveys a significant period in French history from the perspective of the province of Burgundy and its vignerons …' Noelle Plack, European History Quarterly'Mack Holt, in this tightly written and long-matured work, bases his conclusions on a profound knowledge of the Archives municipales of Dijon, one of the best preserved in France, as well as on a wide range of visual, literary, and narrative sources. In doing so, he deploys a deep knowledge of the city and its culture, interweaving an analysis of public institutions with a study of social structures and of material culture to construct a portrait of a whole society through serious upheavals and challenges.' David Potter, Renaissance Quarterly'Holt provides a fine and detailed narrative of the political life of a significant and somewhat unusual city through an eventful century and a half …' Jotham Parsons, The Journal of Modern HistoryTable of ContentsList of figures; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations and translations; Units of currency and measurement in Dijon; Introduction; Part I.

Random House USA Inc Martin Luther
Book SynopsisThe development of Martin Luther's thought was both a symptom and moving force in the transformation of the Middle Ages into the modern world. Geographical discovery, an emerging scientific tradition, and a climate of social change had splintered the unity of medieval Christian culture, and these changes provided the background for Luther's theological challenge. His new apprehension of Scripture and fresh understanding of man's relation to God demanded a break with the Church as then constituted and released the powerful impulses that carried the Reformation. Luther's vigorous, colorful language still retains the excitement it had for thousands of his contemporaries. In this volume, Dr. Dillenberger has made a representative selection from Luther's extensive writings, and has also provided the reader with a lucid introduction to his thought.

Johns Hopkins University Press An Amish Paradox
Book SynopsisAn Amish Paradox captures the complexity and creativity of the Holmes County Amish, dispelling the image of the Amish as a vestige of a bygone era and showing how they reinterpret tradition as modernity encroaches on their distinct way of life.Trade ReviewHurst and McConnell's thorough, readable analysis of the world's largest Amish settlement is fascinating from a variety of perspectives... Highly recommended. Choice 2011 Hurst and McConnell, obviously sympathetic to the Amish they study, are to be commended for their extensive research and their careful attention to nuance and exception. -- Robert Brenneman American Journal of Sociology 2011 A number of excellent books have been written about the Amish in recent years and An Amish Paradox joins the ranks of the best of them. A wonderful book. -- Elizabeth C. Cooksey Journal of Contemporary Religion 2011 A number of excellent books have been written about the Amish in recent years and An Amish Paradox joins the ranks of the best of them. Sociologist Charles Hurst and Anthropologist David McConnell not only bring an interdisciplinary expertise to their study, but also an intimate knowledge of the Amish in Ohio's Holmes County Settlement area, as well as a sense of adventure, as they lead theirreaders on a journey through various domains of Amish life. Their presentation is knowledgeable, measured, and thoughtful and their clear and straightforward style of writing takes one through many facets of Amish life in Ohio at a horse and buggy pace-fast enough to cover the territory and maintain one's interest, but slowly enough to point out the changing scenery en route and to really giveone a sense of the complex nuances that make up everyday Amish life. Journal of Contemporary Religion 2011 An Amish Paradox is a richly detailed and highly readable account of one settlement of Amish, perhaps the most visible ethnic religious minority in the United States. It is well-researched and free of jargon... [A] good choice for an advanced course in anthropology or sociology on religion, ethnicity, community, identity, or social change. -- Jonathan G.

Johns Hopkins University Press Pennsylvania Dutch
Book SynopsisDrawing on scholarly literature, three decades of fieldwork, and ample historical documents-most of which have never before been made accessible to English-speaking readers-this is the first book to offer a comprehensive look at this unlikely linguistic success story.Trade Review[ Pennsylvania Dutch] is written in a very accessible style and provides good information about the Pennsylvania Dutch language. Canadian Mennonite Louden captures the spirit of the folk-cultural narrative and remains engaging, accessible and entertaining to a wide range of audiences. Pennsylvania Heritage Mark Louden, author of Pennsylvania Dutch: The Story of an American Language, surely has written the definitive guide to the subject. Lancaster Mennonite Historical Society Indeed, this is a one-of-a-kind, exceptionally valuable book... So, scrape your pennies together, and go buy this book-before it's sold out! Pennsylvania Mennonite Heritage Louden's interdisciplinary work, sweeping as it does through centuries of history and across a vast continent, draws on three decades of study into the language's evolution and social history. Mennonite World Review Louden successfully weaves a complex tapestry that provides an exhaustive historical account of this language and its speakers and is easily accessible to multiple audiences. Upon finishing this work the scholar is left curious as to what the future holds for Pennsylvania Dutch and its legacy. H-Net Reviews This book is the first attempt at researching and synthesizing the historical, cultural, and linguistic development of Pennsylvania Dutch across all the communities that speak it. It is a bold and broad goal. I'm happy to say that Louden has set the highest standard for any subsequent attempts... It is wonderful story to follow from 1683 to the present. Journal of Amish and Plain Anabaptist Studies Pennsylvania Dutch: The Story o f an American Language is a splendid addition to the discipline of linguistics and, more specifically, to the field of Pennsylvania Dutch language and culture. A language this remarkable-thanks to its Old Order speakers, it is one of only a few heritage languages in America that is not endangered-deserves a firstrate book, and this is it. It will likely be unsurpassed for years to come. Communal Societies...Table of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgments1. What Is Pennsylvania Dutch?2. Early History of Pennsylvania Dutch3.

Christian Focus Publications Ltd The English Puritans: The Rise and the Fall of
Book SynopsisThe Puritan era was extremely important in the formation of the English consitution and its affect upon the church. It gave us tradition of pastoral theology unsurpassed in the history of the English-speaking world. Today, a significiant proportion of the church has decided that its ministry today should be carried out pragmatically rather than theologically. 'what works' is more important than 'what is more biblical'. If we want to be effective in the 21st century then we need to sit at the feet of the Puritans.
