This volume looks at how mid-seventeenth-century debates on the government and order of the Church related to the political crisis of the time. It explores debates concerning the relationship between church, state and people, the nature of the various post-Reformation settlements in the British Atlantic and how they impacted on each other, as well as central and local responses to ecclesiastical upheaval. This is one of the first scholarly collections to focus on the topic of church polity and its relation to politics during a critical period of transatlantic history. It will be of interest to scholars and students of the British revolutions as well as those working on the history of the Church and early dissenting tradition.
Elliot Vernon is a barrister and has published a number of articles on topics relating to mid-seventeenth-century history Hunter Powell is Research Fellow at the Clements Center for National Security at the University of Texas, Austin and has also worked as lecturer in history at the University of Texas
