Identifying the papacy with antichrist and the Roman Catholic Church with Babylon, they pictured the reformation as a departure from the false church that derived its jurisdiction from the devil. Those who took the initiative in throwing off the Roman yoke acted as instruments of God in the cosmic warfare against the power of evil that raged in the latter days of the world. The reformation ushered in the beginning of the end as prophesied by St. John.Reformers and Babylon examines the English apocalyptic tradition as developed in the works of religious thinkers both within and without the Established Church and distinguishes the various streams into which the tradition split. By the middle of Elizabeth's reign the mainstream apocalyptic interpretation was widely accepted within the Church of England. Under Charles I, however, it also provided a vocabulary of attack for critics of the Established Church. Using the same weapons that their ancestors had used to justify the reformation in the first place, reformers like John Bastwick, Henry Burton, William Prynne, and John Lilburne attacked the Church of England's growing sympathies with Romish ways and eventually prepared parliamentarians to take up arms against the royalist forces whom they saw as the forces of antichrist.Scholars of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century intellectual history will welcome this closely reasoned study of the background of religious dissent which underlay the politics of the time. 606 $aApocalyptic literature$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEschatology$xHistory of doctrines 606 $aDissenters, Religious$zEngland 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xChurch history$y17th century 608 $aCriticism, interpretation, etc. 608 $aChurch history. 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aApocalyptic literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEschatology$xHistory of doctrines. 615 0$aDissenters, Religious 676 $a274.2 700 $aChristianson$b Paul Kenneth$0957040 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910148693303321 996 $aReformers and Babylon$92167732 997 $aUNINA
