However, from the late fourteenth century onwards, this division was increasingly challenged by the laity''s insistence on their right to choose not only between different systems of Church government but also between different forms of religious belief. The author charts the rivalry between clergy and laity''s and shows how political and social developments between 1450 and 1660 were decisively influenced by this conflict. This second edition includes updates throughout the text in the light of recent scholarship and a new bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Scholarly, lucid, illuminating, objective and extremely readable . . . an outstanding contribution.\" (\u003ci\u003eChurch Times\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003cbr\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Good historical writing is a rare commodity, and it is a pleasure to meet it in Claire Cross's new book.\" (\u003ci\u003eThe Tablet\u003c\/i\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements. \u003cp\u003e1.
