First published in 1992, this book examines the intellectual
confrontation between priest and Freethinker from 1660 to 1730, and
the origins of the early phase of the Enlightenment in England.
Through an analysis of the practice of historical writing in the
period, Champion maintains that historical argument was a central
component for displaying defences of true religion. Taking
religion, and specifically defences of the Church of England after
1660, as central to the politics of the period, the first two
chapters of the book explore the varieties of clericalist
histories, arguing that there were rival emphases upon regnum or
sacerdos as the font of true religion. The remainder of the book
examines how radical Freethinkers like John Toland or the third
Earl of Shaftesbury set about attacking the corrupt priestcraft of
established religion, but also importantly promoted a reforming
civil theology.
