Predestination, Policy and Polemic: Conflict and Consensus in the English Church from the Reformation to the Civil War
This is a major study of the theology of grace in the English Church between the Reformation and the Civil War. On the basis of a wide reading of both English and continental writings, the author challenges the prevailing view that there was essentially a 'Calvinist' consensus in the Elizabethan and Jacobean Church, and stresses instead an indigenous latitudinarianism of doctrine against which a concerted campaign was conducted in the last decade…

Loyalist as Royalist, Patriot as Puritan: The American Revolution as a Repetition of the English Civil Wars
Patriots at the beginning of the American Revolution were conscious of participating in a tradition of liberty derived from their Puritan forefathers. Not only did they refer back to the crossing of the sea by their ancestors who "bravely threw themselves upon the bosom of the ocean, determined to find a place in which they might enjoy their freedom, or perish in the glorious attempt," but they also spoke of themselves as "the descendants of Oliv…

The Reformatio Legum Ecclesiasticarum of 1552 and the Furthering of Discipline in England
In November, 1549, at the beginning of the third session of King Edward VI's first parliament, legislation was introduced intending to facilitate the reformation of the ecclesiastical laws of England. In the House of Lords, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and others submitted a bill "touching Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction" which would have given the bishops and their ordinaries the power to excommunicate and to imprison those who were in need of discipli…
Sermons Before Parliament (1640-1649) As A Public Puritan Diary
The publication thirty years ago by M. M. Knappen of the diaries of Richard Rogers and Samuel Ward called attention to the puritan diary as a means of understanding puritan character. These were two examples of rather frequently kept journals in which pious diarists of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century made a careful account of both their moral successes and failures together with those events in their lives which were signs of God…
Reduction of Episcopacy as a Means to Unity in England, 1640-1662
In his inaugural address at the Union Theological Seminary, Robert T. Handy called attention to the present possibility of reexamining the whole course of church history from unitive perspectives. Handy pointed out that "the church historian in an ecumenical era can with particular profit devote special attention to the unitive hopes, dreams, and actions of the past
The Demise of English Presbyterianism: 1660-1760
In The History and Character of Calvinism, John T. McNeill dismisses the story of English Presbyterianism in the eighteenth century with the following statement: Here we may return for a brief reference to Calvinism in England, where the Presbyterian ... nonconformity carried its banners but weakly in the eighteenth century... After the death of Matthew Henry (1714) ... Presbyterian leadership was undistinguished. A tincture of rationalism and So…
