Notions of religious conformity in England were redefined during
the mid-seventeenth century; for many it was as though the previous
century's reformation was being reversed. Lane considers how a
select group of churchmen - the Laudians - reshaped the meaning of
church conformity during a period of religious and political
turmoil.

In colorful detail, Calvin Lane explores the dynamic intersection
between reform movements and everyday Christian practice from ca.
1000 to ca. 1800. Lowering the artificial boundaries between “the
Middle Ages,” “the Reformation,” and “the Enlightenment,”
Lane brings to life a series of reform programs each of which
developed new sensibilities about what it meant to live the
Christian life. Along this tour, Lane discusses music, art,
pilgrimage, relics, architecture, heresy, martyrdom, patterns of
personal prayer, changes in marriage and family life, connections
between church bodies and governing authorities, and certainly
worship. The thread that he finds running from the Benedictine
revival in the eleventh century to the pietistic movements of the
eighteenth is a passionate desire to return to a primitive era of
Christianity, a time of imagined apostolic authenticity, even
purity. In accessible language, he introduces readers to
Cistercians and Calvinists, Franciscans and Jesuits, Lutherans and
Jansenists, Moravians and Methodists to name but a few of the many
reform movements studied in this book. Although Lane highlights
their diversity, he argues that each movement rooted its
characteristic practice – their spirituality – in an
imaginative recovery of the apostolic life.
