Beginning in medieval times, the author takes the reader on a
fascinating journey examining key events that have shaped religious
life in Ireland, with special emphasis on the Puritan era and the
leadership of the church exercised by Archbishop James Ussher.
Richard Baxter once said, "If all the Episcopalians had been like
Archbishop Ussher, all the Presbyterians like Mr. Stephen Marshall,
and all the Independents like Jeremiah Burroughs, the breaches of
the church would soon have healed." "When this fine study first
appeared it filled a great lacuna, and still does. I know of
nothing like it for the subject: a concise overview that is clearly
rooted in an extensive knowledge of the primary sources and that
abounds in wise historical reflection. A gem and highly
recommended." -Michael Haykin, Southern Baptist Theological
Seminary, Louisville, KY "The history of Irish Protestantism was by
no means tranquil or magnificent. Nevertheless, as Crawford Gribben
shows in this highly readable and thoughtful book, the Reformation
took root in Ireland in ways that were important not just for Irish
Protestantism but also for Protestant churches in England,
Scotland, and eventually the United States. For readers who want to
understand the course and accomplishments of the Reformation in
Ireland, The Irish Puritans is the place to go." -Darryl Hart,
Hillsdale College, MI ''In this work, Crawford Gribben offers a
succinct, much-needed history of Archbishop James Ussher and the
Irish Puritans, and, by extension, Irish Christianity. This
colorful and, at times, sad history is explained along with major
events transpiring simultaneously in England and Scotland. It shows
the insights and flaws of some of the great church leaders in
Ireland and provides valuable lessons for the worldwide church
today. A compelling and informative read, this book convinces us
that God is not done with Ireland.'' - Joel R. Beeke, President and
Professor of Systematic Theology and Homiletics at Puritan Reformed
Theological Seminary Crawford Gribben is professor of Early Modern
British History at Queen's University Belfast, and is the author of
numerous books, including God's Irishmen: Theological Debates in
Cromwellian Ireland (2007), Writing the Rapture: Prophecy Fiction
in Evangelical America (2009), and Evangelical Millennialism in the
Trans-Atlantic World, 1500-2000 (2011).
