This book proposes a new model for understanding religious debates
in the churches of England and Scotland between 1603 and 1625.
Setting aside 'narrow' analyses of conflict over predestination,
its theme is ecclesiology - the nature of the church, its rites and
governance, and its relationship to the early Stuart political
world. Drawing on a substantial number of polemical works, from
sermons to books of several hundred pages, it argues that rival
interpretations of scripture, pagan and civil history and the
sources central to the Christian historical tradition lay at the
heart of disputes between proponents of contrasting ecclesiological
visions. Some saw the church as a blend of spiritual and political
elements - a state church - while others insisted that the life of
the spirit should be free from civil authority. As the reign went
on, these positions hardened, and they made a major contribution to
the religious divisions of the 1640s.
