| Summary |
"England's Second Reformation is an attempt to look at the religious history of the mid-seventeenth century in a way that frees it from some of the master narratives usually employed for that period - not least the account that presents the 1640s and 1650s as a uniquely destructive but also temporary intermission in the history of national institutions, in religion as much as in politics, and of interest chiefly because of the growth of radical tolerationism. The intention here is to consider events in the context of the history of the Church of England and of its earlier reformations. When historians of the Church of England contemplate the period of the civil war and interregnum, it is usually seen in simple terms as a struggle between those puritans working to abolish the pre-war church settlement, and those religious conservatives seeking to preserve it. Given that the Church of England's history is generally interpreted as the history of the consolidation of an established Elizabethan settlement, this tends to relegate the events of the 1640s and 1650s to the status of an aberration, a cautionary tale, or even an irrelevance"-- Provided by publisher |
