Violence and Religionoffers a detailed and fascinating study of the writings of some of the major figures of the time including Calvin, D'Aubigné Cromwell, Winstanley and the poet Andrew Marvell. Looking at texts written during two periods of major political upheaval and civil unrest in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, she explores the division between their understanding of the self-interest of humanity and the will of God.MilitarismReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrinesChristian sociologyReformed ChurchEuropeHistoryFranceHistory16th centuryGreat BritainHistoryCivil War, 1642-1649MilitarismReligious aspectsChristianityHistory of doctrines.Christian sociologyReformed ChurchHistory.261.7940.23Sproxton Judy1496036OCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910783945703321Violence and religion3720488UNINA
