John Owen (1616-1683) and Richard Baxter (1615-1691) were both
pivotal figures in shaping the nonconformist landscape of
Restoration England. Yet despite having much in common, they found
themselves taking opposite sides in several important debates, and
their relationship was marked by acute strain and mutual dislike.
By comparing and contrasting the parallel careers of these two men,
this book not only distils the essence of their differing theology,
it also offers a broader understanding of the formation of English
nonconformity. Placing these two figures in the context of earlier
events, experience and differences, it argues that Restoration
nonconformity was hampered by their strained personal relationship,
which had its roots in their contrasting experiences of the English
Civil War. This study thus contributes to historiography that
explores the continuities across seventeenth-century England,
rather than seeing a divide at 1660. It illustrates the way in
which personality and experience shaped the development of wider
movements.
