Sacraments, Ceremonies And The Stuart Divines

This study presents the teachings - and in some cases the portraits - of some "hidden" 17th-century divines, the ancestors of Anglicanism who have been removed and hidden away. It views them working within the parameters of a broadly common reformed theology, transcended and aggravated by mutual national distrust, different polities and different liturgical practices.Contents of the work include the sacramental legacy of the 16th-century Reformation, the Long Parliament to the death of Cromwell, and the Restoration.
