Retaining the Old Episcopal Divinity

John Edwards of Cambridge and Reformed Orthodoxy in the Later Stuart Church

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

John Edwards of Cambridge (1637-1716) has typically been portrayed as a marginalized 'Calvinist' in an overwhelmingly 'Arminian' later Stuart Church of England. In Retaining the Old Episcopal Divinity, Jake Griesel challenges this depiction of Edwards and the theological climate of his contemporary Church.
