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. 410 0$aCambridge studies in early modern British history. 517 3 $aReason & Religion in the English Revolution 606 $aSocinianism 606 $aReligion and civil society$zGreat Britain 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yPuritan Revolution, 1642-1660 607 $aGreat Britain$xChurch history$y17th century 615 0$aSocinianism. 615 0$aReligion and civil society 676 $a273/.70942 700 $aMortimer$b Sarah$01508930 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792354603321 996 $aReason and religion in the English revolution$93766049 997 $aUNINA
