Reviews

"This is a significant study that should bring the English Presbyterians to the centre of a much-trodden stage. Elliot Vernon deserves thanks from the scholarly community for rescuing a group that have been noticed but ignored."
Alan Argent, Congregational History Society Magazine, Vol. 10, No 1, 2022
