What Was the Restoration Church of England
In 1680 the controversy that followed two high-profile London sermons brought into the public arena bitter divisions among the clergy of the Church of England about the nature of their Church. Was the Church of England a society of Christians united by faith and governed as seemed appropriate to English conditions? Or was it one local part of a distinct and sacred institution, the mechanism of eternal salvation, established by Christ and organise…
Where Was the Church of England, 1646–1660
When parliament abolished episcopacy, cathedrals, and the Book of Common Prayer, what was left of the Church of England? Indeed, as contemporaries asked between 1646 and 1660, ‘Where is the Church of England?’ The episcopalian clergy could not agree. Some thought the remaining national framework of parishes and congregations was ‘the Church of England’, though now deformed, and worked within it. Others thought that only those ministers and parish…
The Church of England, the Nonconformists and Reason: Another Restoration Controversy
This paper (a companion to an article published this Journal lxvii [2016] ) considers a twelve-year campaign by some Church of England clergy to discredit Nonconformists as irrational enthusiasts. It began in 1668–9, to discourage concessions to Nonconformists through ‘comprehension’ and to prove the loyalty of men suspected of lukewarm attachment to the Church. Congregationalists responded by accusing the conformists of Socinianism. But Presbyte…
Theological Wars’: ‘Socinians’ v. ‘Antinomians’ in Restoration England
This article examines changes in content and tone in some polemical exchanges between Anglican conformists and Nonconformists in the reign of Charles ii . In response to the Dissenters' pleas for comprehension and/or toleration because of shared Protestant beliefs, some conformists accused them of holding an antinomian doctrine of justification that undermined morality and political order – and Dissenters retorted with accusations of Socinianism.…

Catholic Resistance in Elizabethan England: Robert Persons's Jesuit Polemic, 1580-1610 * Law and Conscience: Catholicism in Early Modern England, 1570-1625
Two volumes in Ashgate's series ‘Catholic Christendom, 1300–1700’ tackle well-worn subjects and try to give them new twists. Victor Houliston's study of Persons is the more successful, though much of six of its eight chapters has been published in articles and essays since 1994. Robert Persons published thirty books in English and Latin, many of them in bitter controversies with English Protestants. Houliston concentrates mainly on Persons's atta…
The Plain Man's Pathways to Heaven: Kinds of Christianity in Post-Reformation England, 1570–1640
What did ordinary people believe in post-Reformation England, and what did they do about it? This book looks at religious belief and practice through the eyes of five sorts of people: godly Protestant ministers, zealous Protestant laypeople, the ignorant, those who complained about the burdens of religion, and the Catholics. Based on 600 court and visitation books from three national and twelve local archives, it cites what people had to say abou…

English Catholic Historians and the English Reformation, 1585-1954
John Vidmar asks a brisk question: ‘What did Catholic writers say about the English Reformation over the last four hundred years and why did they say it?’ (p. 3). He gives an equally brisk answer, dealing essentially with a dozen historians at an average of ten pages each. The answer falls into two chronological parts. First, from Nicholas Sander's Rise and Growth of the Anglican Schism (first published in Latin in 1585) to the first edition of J…
Reformation England, 1480-1642
Some university students find historical controversy challenging and exhilarating: for them, it is what makes our subject worth doing. Others find it irritating, predictable and sometimes rather childish: perhaps they should be studying something else. And many find it confusing to see the same material interpreted in different ways, or different kinds of evidence set against each other: ‘How are we to know what's right?’ they sometimes ask. Pete…
The King's Reformation: Henry VIII and the Remaking of the English Church
THERE is a pleasing perversity in George Bernard's approach to the reign of Henry VIII. Any idea that looks like gaining acceptance among historians is in the author's sights. Did Anne Boleyn seek to advance the evangelical cause? No, she did not! Was she attacked by political enemies and framed on false charges? No, she was guilty of multiple adultery and rightly rejected by the king. Did political factions vie for influence over Henry VIII? No,…
The Character of an Antipuritan
This article considers antipuritans in Elizabethan and early Stuart England as they were portrayed in didactic texts, especially dialogues, and as they appear in court records. When godly Protestants were dubbed puritan, they responded with the antipuritan, a caricature of their critics as dull-witted despisers of religion who excused their indifference by calling the zealous puritans. The article then asks whether antipuritans were only a useful…

Clergy JPS in England and Wales, 1590–1640
In the 1621 parliament members of the House of Commons clashed with the king over the issue of clergy as JPs: there were suggestions that no clergyman should sit as a JP, or that only bishops and deans should be appointed. Why were there complaints at that time, and were they justified? Was the nomination of clergy as justices an element in ‘the rise of clericalism’? This analysis of clergy JPs between 1590 and 1640 shows that they had been incre…
A. G. Dickens and the English Reformation
This article considers the contribution that Professor Dickens made to the flowering of local studies of the Reformation in England, and asks why his influence waned in the nineteen-seventies and after. When Dickens began work on Yorkshire in the early nineteen-thirties, he was one of a number of young scholars looking at the Reformation in the localities. By the nineteen-fifties he was the leading spokesman for a regionalist approach and the sea…
A Matter of Much Contention in the Realm’: Parish Controversies over Communion Bread in Post‐Reformation England
In 1559 the Book of Common Prayer ordered that bread should be used at communion services in English churches, but the royal Injunctions prescribed wafers. At first, Archbishop Parker and most of his bishops tried to enforce wafers, as Queen Elizabeth commanded, but this led to protests from Protestant clergy and some laypeople, who regarded the wafers as popish. After Parker's death in 1575, however, the bishops were more inclined to enforce the…

This ambitious Leicestershire parson, already embittered by failure, was humiliated by the Court of High Commission. Led by Archbishop Laud, the court declared that P…

The Taming of Reformation: Preachers, Pastors and Parishioners in Elizabethan and Early Stuart England
Many of the godly preachers of late Elizabethan England encountered resistance from their parishioners. There were often objections to their divisiveness, to their preaching of predestination, and to their liturgical nonconformity. This article argues that parochial responses prompted some clergy to adjust their strategies, and encouraged younger ministers to adopt new ways. A more comprehensive pastorate, a proto‐Arminian doctrine of justificati…

Revisionism, the Reformation and the History of English Catholicism
Twenty years ago, when Patrick McGrath was writing Papists and Puritans , it made sense to present the history of Tudor Catholicism in terms of early decline and later heroic recovery. Our understanding of the sixteenth century was then dominated by two books, which seemed to demonstrate revolutions in religion and government that breached all continuities in ecclesiastical and political history.

The puny mind of the historian, grappling with the almost infinite detail and complexity of the past, seizes with relief upon such simplifications as are to hand.

Our understanding of politics and religion in the sixteenth century has been bedevilled by the assumption that the period of ‘the English Reformation’…
