Book Description

Revisionist account of the achievements and accomplishments of the Hanoverian Church in terms of its involvement in politics, the professionalization of its ministry and the discharge of episcopal and clerical duties




The Church of England 1688-1832


Book Description

A wide ranging new history of a key period in the history of the church in England, from the 'Glorious Revolution' of 1688-89 to the Great Reform Act of 1832. This was a tumultuous time for both church and state, when the relationship between religion and politics was at its most fraught. This book presents evidence of the widespread Anglican commitment to harmony between those of differing religious views and suggests that High and Low Churchmanship was less divergent than usually assumed.
