Publisher Synopsis
This collection is to be commended, for it does what the blurb claims in that 'it constitutes the most wide-ranging and sustained discussion of this episode for fifty years. * Andrew Foster, University of Kent. * Considered as a stand-alone volume, Settling the Peace of the Church: 1662 Revisited can be seen as setting a new standard for writing about the Restoration-era exclusion of over 2,000 preachers and countless more parishioners from the national church of England. * Kenneth J. Stewart, Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology * this volume contains significant insights into the politics, literature, and culture of early modern England. Historians whose first interest may not be the religious issues of that period can still find much benefit from the studies this book contains, which provide for a fuller understanding of important aspects of English society during the Restoration. * Warren Johnston, H-Albion * chapters will for many readers provide a joy of discovery and are likely to promote further research ... excellent book * Nicholas Fisher, The Seventeenth Century * This is a valuable and wide ranging collection. The essays are well chosen, relfect original research and are of a high standard throughout. * Alan Argent, Congregational History Society Magazine. * The nine essays examine the effects of the Act not only in England but also in Scotland, Ireland, the Netherlands and New England, and overall the exhilarating sweep of the survey does not disappoint ... excellent. * Nicholas Fisher, Institute of English Studies, University of London * This book is the best analysis of religious changes at the beginning of the Restoration period in England that has yet appeared, and it is the place to begin for further research and reflection. * W.B. Patterson, Anglican and Episcopal History * "...will for many readers provide a joy of discovery and are likely to promote further research. * Nicholas Fisher, The Seventeenth Century. * Read more...
