On Laudianism

Více o knize

Laudianism intertwines Christian practice with political ideology, rooted in a revival of theological principles and ecclesiastical ambitions. Peter Lake explores its emphasis on the "beauty of holiness" as a strategy to rejuvenate both church and state, reacting against puritanism and the political turmoil of the 1620s. This movement not only contributed to the outbreak of the English Civil War due to its controversial nature but also shaped enduring visions of the national church, influencing the ongoing definition of Anglicanism.
