Description
Book SynopsisFor readers interested in early modern England and the Reformation, this book sheds new light on radical Protestant views of reform and godly identity. 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 History
