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.
