Rezensionen

'Crawford Gribben is a prolific scholar of this contemporary culture and its early modern antecedents, and this lucid survey in the history of ideas is a further valuable (and expensive) product of a decade's labour in this distinctive plot... fine work.' - Journal of Ecclesiastical History

'This volume properly calls attention to a neglected theme and provides a masterly overview of the subject both chronologically and analytically. Every seminary library needs to have it on its shelves.' - Baptist Quarterly
