The belief that God eternally and unalterably decrees the election
of one part of humankind and the reprobation of the rest has not
aged well, but in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the
doctrine of predestination was publicised and popularised to an
extent unparalleled in the history of Christianity. Why was this?
How successfully was the doctrine able to mix with other ideas, and
to what effect? And did belief in predestination encourage
confidence or despair? Practical Predestinarians is a study of the
ways in which the doctrine of predestination was understood and
communicated by churchmen in late Tudor and early Stuart England.
It connects with debates about the 'popularity' of Protestantism
during England's 'long reformation', as well as with the question
of whether predestination tended toward inclusive or divisive, and
conformist or subversive, applications. Intersecting with recent
debates about the popular reception of Protestant preaching, this
book focusses upon the pastoral message itself - it is therefore an
investigation into the public face of English Calvinism.
