William Perkins and the Making of Protestant England presents a new
interpretation of the theology and historical significance of
William Perkins (1558-1602), a prominent Cambridge scholar and
teacher during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Though often
described as a Puritan, Perkins was in fact a prominent and
effective apologist for the established church whose contributions
to English religious thought had an immense influence on an English
Protestant culture that endured well into modern times. The English
Reformation is shown to be a part of the European-wide Reformation,
and Perkins himself a leading Reformed theologian. In A Reformed
Catholike (1597), Perkins distinguished the theology upheld in the
English Church from that of the Roman Catholic Church, while at the
same time showing the considerable extent to which the two churches
shared common concerns. His books dealt extensively with the nature
of salvation and the need to follow a moral way of life. Perkins
wrote pioneering works on conscience and 'practical divinity'. In
The Arte of Prophecying (1607), he provided preachers with a
guidebook to the study of the Bible and their oral presentation of
its teachings. He dealt boldly and in down-to-earth terms with the
need to achieve social justice in an era of severe economic
distress. Perkins is shown to have been instrumental to the making
of a Protestant England, and to have contributed significantly to
the development of the religious culture not only of Britain but
also of a broad range of countries on the Continent.
