Über dieses Buch
What did people in Restoration England think the correct relationship between church state should be? And how did this thinking evolve?
Based on the author's published essays, revised and updated with a new overarching introduction, this book explores the debates in Restoration England about "godly rule". The book assesses some of the crucial transitions in English history: how the late Reformation gave way to the early Enlightenment; how Royalism became Toryism and Puritanism became Whiggism; how the power of churchmen was challenged by virulent anticlericalism; how the verities of "divine right" theory revived and collapsed. Providing a distinctive account of English thought in the era between the two revolutions of the Stuart century, "Contesting the English Polity, 1660-1688" discusses the ideological foundations of emerging party politics, and the deep intellectual roots of competing visions for the commonwealth, placing the power of religion, and the taming of religion, squarely alongside constitutional battles within secular politics.

Rezensionen
The newly written introduction will be a go-to source for scholars and students to briefly familiarize
themselves with the import of ecclesiology in early modern politics. This excellent volume should be of interest to various scholars of religious history and theology-particularly of toleration, restoration literature, and political theory, as well as providing useful historical perspective for the growing number of scholars researching post-secular and post-liberal accounts of contemporary society.
