Beskrivning
England's Second Reformation reassesses the religious upheavals of mid-seventeenth-century England, situating them within the broader history of the Church of England and its earlier Reformations. Rather than seeing the Civil War years as a destructive aberration, Anthony Milton demonstrates how they were integral to (and indeed the climax of) the Church of England's early history. All religious groups - parliamentarian and royalist alike - envisaged changes to the pre-war church, and all were forced to adapt their religious ideas and practices in response to the tumultuous events. Similarly, all saw themselves and their preferred reforms as standing in continuity with the Church's earlier history. By viewing this as a revolutionary 'second Reformation', which necessarily involved everyone and forced them to reconsider what the established church was and how its past should be understood, Milton presents a compelling case for rethinking England's religious history.

Recensioner i media

'Anthony Milton's magnum opus sets out a powerful reinterpretation of the politics of religion in seventeenth-century England. Instead of seeing Anglican conservatives pitted against Puritan revolutionaries, Milton depicts an era of Second Reformation, a contest between rival Reformers of the Church of England. A magisterial book.' John Coffey, University of Leicester
