Peter Lake (Tennessee Vanderbilt University)

On Laudianism

Piety, Polemic and Politics During the Personal Rule of Charles I

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Laudianism was both a way of being Christian and a political ideology. This definitive account of this intensely controversial movement explores how it helped cause the English civil war, but over the long term provided one of the visions of the national church, one that has been in contention to define 'Anglicanism' ever since.
