Sarah Mortimer reveals the extent to which these discussions were shaped by the writing of the Socinians, an extremely influential group of heterodox writers. She provides the first treatment of Socinianism in England for over fifty years, demonstrating the interplay between theological ideas and political events in this period as well as the strong intellectual connections between England and Europe. Royalists used Socinian ideas to defend royal authority and the episcopal Church of England from both Parliamentarians and Thomas Hobbes. But Socinianism was also vigorously denounced and, after the Civil Wars, this attack on Socinianism was central to efforts to build a church under Cromwell and to provide toleration. The final chapters provide a new account of the religious settlement of the 1650s.Cambridge studies in early modern British history.Reason & Religion in the English RevolutionSocinianismReligion and civil societyGreat BritainGreat BritainHistoryPuritan Revolution, 1642-1660Great BritainChurch history17th centurySocinianism.Religion and civil society273/.70942Mortimer Sarah854745UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910459263603321Reason and religion in the English revolution2456411UNINA
