Laudianism was both a way of being Christian and a political
ideology. This definitive account establishes the theological roots
and political resonances of Laudianism, and shows how it was based
on the recuperation of the theological principles and
ecclesiastical and pietistic ambitions that underpinned it. Peter
Lake shows how the Laudians' famous obsession with the beauty of
holiness contained a plan for the reinvigoration of both the church
and the state. It represented a self-conscious reaction against the
long-term evils of puritanism and of the immediate political crisis
of the 1620s, caused in turn by the evils of (an often puritan)
popularity. The result was a coherent account of the theological,
liturgical and political essence of the Church of England. On
Laudianism explores how this intensely controversial movement, and
the strong reactions it provoked, helped cause the English Civil
War, but over the long term provided one of the visions of the
national church, one that has been in contention to define
'Anglicanism' ever since.
