Patrick Collinson is the leading historian of English religion in the years after the Reformation. This collection of essays ranges from Thomas Cranmer, who was burnt at the stake after repeated recantations in 1556, to William Sancroft, the only other post-Reformation archbishop of Canterbury to have been deprived of office. Patrick Collinson's work explores the complex interactions between the inclusive and exclusive tendencies in English Protestantism, focusing both on famous figures, such as John Foxe and Richard Hooker, and on the individual reactions of lesser figures to the religious challenges of the time. Two themes throughout are the importance of the Bible and the emergence of Puritanism inside the Church of England.

Industry Reviews

'Collinson uses his characteristic brand of elegant humour and human sympathy to sketch the lineaments of that often misunderstood and maligned beast, the Puritan. More than any other modern historian, he has brought the Puritans home, back into the Church of England.' Diarmaid MacCulloch, The Spectator--Sanford Lakoff "The Spectator "
