Finding Antichrist
The article discusses the apocalyptic beliefs of the nineteenth‐century E nglish O ratorian and devotional writer, F rederick F aber, though initially providing a context among earlier and contemporary E nglish C atholic apocalyptic writers. It proceeds, by means of a consideration of F aber's conscious de‐secularisation of language, to give an account of his identification of the elements of a transvalued contemporary popular concept of modernit…
Thomas Allies, John Henry Newman and Providentialist History
This article discusses and evaluates the historiographical work of a leading Oxford convert and Ultramontane, Thomas Allies (1813–1903). An evaluation of Allies by the criteria of the Ultramontane scholarship he endeavoured to practise allows the article to offer an illustration of the difficulty in establishing and maintaining an autonomous Catholic scholarship during the nineteenth century's secularising development of academic activity. It als…
Scottish Jacobitism, Episcopacy, and Counter-Enlightenment
Acknowledging the considerable degree of identity which developed between Episcopalianism and the Jacobite movement in Scotland, this study investigates the character of Episcopalian thought at the end of the seventeenth and in the first decade of the eighteenth century, making particular use of the writings of Bishop John Sage (1652–1711) and Principal Alexander Monro (d. 1698). It comments on the origins of that thought, with reference to both …
John Milner and the Orthodox Cause
The study deals with Bishop John Milner, the English Catholic polemicist and historian, closely involved in affairs relating to the efforts to obtain Catholic emancipation. It identifies Milner's most fundamental concerns, offering a description of a coherent structure of anti‐Enlightenment thought. This description serves to provide a unified interpretation both of his very varied and often influential writings and of his conduct in public affai…
Ancienneté among the Non-Jurors
The article offers a study of the theological method of Henry Dodwell, the most\ndistinguished British savant of the late Stuart period and a leading figure in the Non-Juring\nmovement. The study takes the form of arguments for the extension of the contemporary\ndispute between the Ancients and Moderns, in its historiographical dimension, into the field of\ndivinity; for substantial modification of the claims made in discussions of the dispute ab…
The Non-Jurors and their History
This paper is concerned to establish and elucidate the intellectual distinctiveness of the Anglican Non-Jurors of the late Stuart and early Hanoverian period. It places the Non-Jurors in the context of the early Counter-Enlightenment and finds their distinctiveness within it, as a body, in the extent and intensity of their commitment to rationalist, critical historical study as a theological method, reflecting a primitivist, or more precisely, re…
The religion of the Non-Jurors and the early British enlightenment
The article considers the fundamental motivations and associated theological thought of those involved in the Non-Juring schism in the Church of England in the period after the Revolution of 1688. It indicates and exemplifies how that thought is to be related to wider intellectual conflicts of the period, considered as constituting an early phase of Enlightenment/Counter-Enlightenment debate. The works of the leading Non-Juror theologian, Henry D…
Knowledge of divine things”
The Hutchinsonian movement exercised considerable influence on thought about various topics of importance in England's Enlightenment/Counter-Enlightenment debates. Its epistemological stance, derived from a group of Irish writers of the early eighteenth century, places the movement at the centre of these debates and does much to explain its attraction to contemporaries. The article emphasises the persistence of Hutchinsonian thought and the conti…
Antichrist’s Revolution
The article deals with the late eighteenth‐ and early nineteenth‐century development of early modern English apocalyptic thought which permitted the identification of the Enlightenment and its political manifestations in Revolutionary France with the prophesied Antichrist. The importance of this phenomenon is discussed and a framework for further discussion of it, taken from general theories of apocalyptic, is provided. However, the article is ch…
Hutchinsonianism
The followers of the natural philosopher John Hutchinson developed a religious movement which produced one of the most notable schools of eighteenth‐century Anglican thought. This paper describes Hutchinsonianism’s position, firstly, in relation to other religious movements of the period. It sites it within a temporally specific spectrum of ecclesiastical positions and also offers a more general description of its character. To be more specific, …
William Law, Behmenism, and Counter Enlightenment
The importance of William Law has never been in doubt. Scholars have regarded him as an extremely effective High Church apologist by virtue of his replies to Bishop Benjamin Hoadly on ecclesiology and eucharistic theology, and as an influential pastoral guide by virtue of the success of his Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life . He is also considered the most notable post-Reformation English mystic by virtue of his later works, written under th…
The Nonjurors and the Counter Enlightenment
The article argues, firstly, that in view of the relationship between Protestantism and the English Enlightenment it is in distinctively non‐Protestant religious thought, within or without the Church of England, that the central themes of the English Counter Enlightenment are to be sought. The writings of the Nonjurors can and should therefore be seen as possessing a wider significance than that derived from the history of theology. They constitu…
