A People’s Reformation
The Elizabethan settlement, and the Church of England that
emerged from it, made way for a theological reformation, an
institutional reformation, and a high political reformation. It was
a reformation that changed history, birthed an Anglican communion,
and would eventually launch new wars, new language, and even a new
national identity. A People's Reformation offers a
fundamental reinterpretation of the English Reformation and the
roots of the Church of England. Drawing on archival material from
across the United States and Britain, Lucy Kaufman examines the
growing influence of state authority and the slow building of a
robust state church from the bottom up in post-Reformation England.
Situating the people of England at the heart of this story, the
book argues that while the Reformation shaped everyday lives, it
was also profoundly shaped by them in turn. England became a
Protestant nation not in spite of its people but through their
active social, political, and religious participation in creating a
new church in England. A People's Reformation explores
this world from the pews, reimagining the lived experience and
fierce negotiation of church and state in the parishes of
Elizabethan England. It places ordinary people at the centre of the
local, cultural, and political history of the Reformation and its
remarkable, transformative effect on the world.

The Christian Monitors
This original and persuasive book examines the moral and religious revival led by the Church of England before and after the Glorious Revolution, and shows how that revival laid the groundwork for a burgeoning civil society in Britain. After outlining the Church of England's key role in the increase of voluntary, charitable, and religious societies, Brent Sirota examines how these groups drove the modernization of Britain through such activities as settling immigrants throughout the empire, founding charity schools, distributing devotional literature, and evangelizing and educating merchants, seamen, and slaves throughout the British empire-all leading to what has been termed the \"age of benevolence.\"

Fathers of the Victorians : the age of Wilberforce
\"Mr Brown has written an assessment of the Evangelical revival in the Church of England at the beginning of the nineteenth century. He makes a number of important points about the Evangelicals: who they were, what they tried to do, how they tried to do it, and what success they had. He establishes how much they made the later Victorian age what it was and also suggests how the movement came to lose its hold on the foremost minds of the age in the third generation.

The Life and Theology of Alexander Knox
In his The Life and Theology of Alexander Knox, David McCready highlights one of the most important figures in the history of Anglicanism. A disciple of John Wesley, Knox presents his mentor as a representative of the Neo-Platonic tradition within Anglicanism, a tradition that Knox himself also exemplifies. Knox also significantly impacted John Henry Newman and the Tractarians. But Alexander Knox is an important theologian in his own right, one who engaged substantially with the main intellectual currents of his day, namely those stemming from the Enlightenment and Romanticism. Meshing Knox's theological teaching on various topics with details of his life, this book offers a fascinating portrait of a man who, in the words of Samuel Taylor Coleridge 'changed the minds, and, with them, the acts of thousands.'.
