This book seeks to bring coherence to two of the most studied
periods in British history, Caroline non-conformity (pre-1640) and
the British revolution (post-1642). It does so by focusing on the
pivotal years of 1638-44 where debates around non-conformity within
the Church of England morphed into a revolution between Parliament
and its king. Parliament, saddled with the responsibility of
re-defining England's church, called its Westminster assembly of
divines to debate and define the content and boundaries of that new
church. Typically this period has been studied as either an
ecclesiastical power struggle between Presbyterians and
independents, or as the harbinger of modern religious toleration.
This book challenges those assumptions and provides an entirely new
framework for understanding one of the most important moments in
British history. -- .
