    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again - beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

  • How English Baptists Changed the Early Modern Toleration Debate
    RADICALLY [IN]TOLERANT: HOW ENGLISH BAPTISTS CHANGED THE EARLY MODERN TOLERATION DEBATE Caleb Morell Dr. Amy Leonard Dr. Jo Ann Moran Cruz This research was undertaken under the auspices of Georgetown University and was submitted in partial fulfillment for Honors in History at Georgetown University. MAY 2016 I give permission to Lauinger Library to make this thesis available to the public. ABSTRACT The argument of this thesis is that the contrasting visions of church, state, and religious toleration among the Presbyterians, Independents, and Baptists in seventeenth-century England, can best be explained only in terms of their differences over Covenant Theology. That is, their disagreements on the ecclesiological and political levels were rooted in more fundamental disagreements over the nature of and relationship between the biblical covenants. The Baptists developed a Covenant Theology that diverged from the dominant Reformed model of the time in order to justify their practice of believer’s baptism. This precluded the possibility of a national church by making baptism, upon profession of faith, the chief pre- requisite for inclusion in the covenant community of the church. Church membership would be conferred not upon birth but re-birth, thereby severing the links between infant baptism, church membership, and the nation. Furthermore, Baptist Covenant Theology undermined the dominating arguments for state-sponsored religious persecution, which relied upon Old Testament precedents and the laws given to kings of Israel. These practices, the Baptists argued, solely applied to Israel in the Old Testament in a unique way that was not applicable to any other nation. Rather in the New Testament age, Christ has willed for his kingdom to go forth not by the power of the sword but through the preaching of the Word.

  • The Marian Exile and Religious Self-Identity: Rethinking the Origins of Elizabethan Puritanism
    Perichoresis Volume 13. Issue 1 (2015): 17-36 DOI 10.1515/perc-2015-0002 THE MARIAN EXILE AND RELIGIOUS SELF-IDENTITY: RETHINKING THE ORIGINS OF ELIZABETHAN PURITANISM ANGELA RANSON * University of York ABSTRACT. This paper challenges historians’ portrayal of Elizabethan puritanism as rooted in the Marian exile of 1553-1558, through a fresh examination of three exiles who have been de- scribed as early puritans: James Pilkington, John Jewel, and Laurence Humphrey. By studying the value they placed on church unity, this paper brings out the fundamental differences be- tween the early reformers and the later puritans. It also demonstrates that the religious self- identity of these men pre-dated the accession of Mary. Thus, their exile was a means of strength- ening their faith, not finding it, and their return meant that there was more continuity between the Edwardian and Elizabethan churches than is often allowed in current scholarship. KEY WORDS: Religious self-identity, Protestant, exile, puritan, unity Introduction The reign of the Catholic Mary between 1553 and 1558 often provides a con- venient dividing line for the historiography of the English Reformation. The Reformation of Edward VI, which came before it, is portrayed much as is Edward himself: well-meaning and generally sound, but tragically lost far too soon. In contrast, the Elizabethan Reformation which followed Mary’s at- tempt to return to the Church of Rome is described as comparatively slow and awkward, plagued with the problems caused by three major parties. These were: the papists who still adhered to Rome, the conservatives who had managed to remain in England during the Marian years, and the exiles who returned ready to establish a new church that followed the Genevan ex- ample.

  • The Elizabethan Protestant Press: a Study of the Printing and Publishing of Protestant Literature in English
    THE ELIZABETHAN PROTESTANT PRESS: A STUDY OF THE PRINTING AND PUBLISHING OF PROTESTANT RELIGIOUS LITERATURE IN ENGLISH, EXCLUDING BIBLES AND LITURGIES, 1558-1603. By WILLIAN CALDERWOOD, M.A., B.D. Submitted for the Ph.D. degree, University College. (c\ (LONBI 2 ABSTRACT Uninterrupted for forty-five years, from 1558 to 1603, Protestants in England were able to use the printing press to disseminate Protestant ideology. It was a period long enough for Protestantism to root itself deeply in the life of the nation and to accumulate its own distinctive literature. English Protestantism, like an inf ant vulnerable to the whim of a parent under King Henry VIII, like a headstrong and erratic child in Edward's reign, and like a sulking, chastised youth in the Marian years, had come of age by the end of the Elizabethan period. At the outset of Elizabeth's reign the most pressing religious need was a clear, well-reasoned defence of the Church of England. The publication of Bishop Jewel's Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae in 1562 was a response to that need and set the tone of literary polemics for the rest of the period. It was a time of muscle- flexing for the Elizabethan Church, and especially in the opening decades, a time when anti-Catholicism was particularly vehement. Consistently throughout the period, when Queen and country were threatened by Catholic intrigues and conspiracies, literature of exceptional virulence was published against Catholicism. But just as the press became an effective tool for defenders and apologists of the Church of England, it soon was being used as an instrument to advance the cause of further reform by more radical Protestants.

    196 book reviews Karl Gunther Reformation Unbound. Protestant Visions of Reform in England, 1525–1590. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge 2014, x + 284 pp. isbn 9781107074484. £65; us$99. In a rich and important study, Karl Gunther reassesses the character of the English church under the Tudors. Combing through both well-known and lesser-studied religious and polemical tracts, Gunther uncovers a “spectrum of voices” (p. 15) who called for radical change in the church. While radical ecclesiological visions have been typically ascribed to radical Puritans and separatists during Elizabeth’s reign, Gunther persuasively argues that these visions had existed in the minds of English reformers since Henry’s day. Gunther’s first and best chapter explores a wealth of radical ecclesiologi- cal expressions in the Henrician church, illuminating the extent of evangelical challenges to traditional institutions. Combing through the works of familiar figures such as William Tyndale, Robert Barnes, and François Lambert he tries to discover their opinions on a range of issues, including the eradication of bishops, the creation of new parishes, congregational discipline, and even the freedom for parishioners to form separatist congregations in case of theologi- cally or morally errant pastors. Perhaps even more important than their radical nature is the way these ecclesiological visions completely contradicted quasi- official publications of the 1530s and 1540s which claimed that the Bible had not set down rules of church governance and that therefore it was for the monarch to determine them. While chapter one antedates what scholars have considered for a long time to be later developments, chapter two ventures somewhere new.

  • From the Strange Death to the Odd Afterlife of Lutheran England
    The Historical Journal From the Strange Death to the Odd Afterlife of Lutheran England Journal: The Historical Journal Manuscript ID: HJ-2013-033.R1 Manuscript Type: Article Period: 1500-99, 1600-99 Historiographical, International Relations, Religious, Political, Thematic: Administrative & Legal Geographic: Britain, Europe, Continental Cambridge University Press Page 1 of 35 The Historical Journal FROM THE STRANGE DEATH TO THE ODD AFTERLIFE OF LUTHERAN ENGLAND∗ DAVID SCOTT GEHRING Durham University Research on the relationship between England and Protestant Germany during the sixteenth century has recently experienced a revival. A significant area of concentration for confessional interests among Lutherans a century ago, Anglo- German relations took a backseat in Reformation historiography during the twentieth century, but during the last decade or so a host of scholars in the UK, Germany, and USA have once again turned their attention to the topic. This review article surveys trends in scholarship on Reformation studies in both England and Germany before turning specifically to works considering instances of interaction, cooperation, and adaptation across the confessional and geographic divides. Gathering a considerable array of secondary materials, the article offers an overview of the merits and criticisms of previous analyses and concludes by pointing out a few areas for future inquiry. Alec Ryrie’s ‘strange death of Lutheran England’ is with good reason one of the most recognized arguments addressing the English Reformation and its relationship with Lutheranism.1 After noting similarities between early Henrician developments and Lutheran ideas, Ryrie argues that Reformed notions came to predominate during the 1540s and thus set the stage for the Reformation under Edward VI.
