Known as repealers, these reformers aimed to convince Parliament to repeal laws that penalized worshippers who failed to conform to the doctrines of the Church of England. Although the movement was destroyed by the Glorious Revolution, it profoundly influenced the post-revolutionary settlement, helping to develop the ideals of tolerance that would define the European Enlightenment. Based on a rich array of newly discovered archival sources, Scott Sowerby's groundbreaking history rescues the repealers from undeserved obscurity, telling the forgotten story of men and women who stood up for their beliefs at a formative moment in British history. By restoring the repealer movement to its rightful prominence, Making Toleration also overturns traditional interpretations of King James II's reign and the origins of the Glorious Revolution. Though often depicted as a despot who sought to impose his own Catholic faith on a Protestant people, James is revealed as a man ahead of his time, a king who pressed for religious toleration at the expense of his throne. The Glorious Revolution, Sowerby finds, was not primarily a crisis provoked by political repression. It was, in fact, a conservative counter-revolution against the movement for enlightened reform that James himself encouraged and sustained. 410 0$aHarvard historical studies ;$vv. 181. 606 $aReligion and politics$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligion and state$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aReligious tolerance$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yJames II, 1685-1688 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yRevolution of 1688 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1660-1714 615 0$aReligion and politics$xHistory 615 0$aReligion and state$xHistory 615 0$aReligious tolerance$xHistory 676 $a274.107 700 $aSowerby$b Scott$f1973-$01528516 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779671303321 996 $aMaking toleration$93772164 997 $aUNINA
