This book examines the importance of the Glorious Revolution and
the passing of the Toleration Act to the development of religious
and intellectual freedom in England. Most historians have
considered these events to be of little significance in this
connection. From Persecution to Toleration focuses on the
importance of the Toleration Act for contemporaries, and also
explores its wider historical context and impact. Taking its point
of departure from the intolerance of the sixteenth century, the
book goes on to emphasize what is here seen to be the very
substantial contribution of the Toleration Act for the development
of religious freedom in England. It demonstrates that his freedom
was initially limited to Protestant Nonconformists, immigrant as
well as English, and that it quickly came in practice to include
Catholics, Jews, and anti-Trinitarians. Contributors: John Bossy,
Patrick Collinson, John Dunn, Graham Gibbs, Mark Goldie, Ole Peter
Grell, Robin Gwynn, Jonathan I. Israel, David S. Katz, Andrew
Pettegree, Richard H. Popkin, Hugh Trevor-Roper, Nicholas Tyacke,
and B. R. White.
