Více o knize

Set against the backdrop of the English Civil War, this work reveals Richard Baxter's candid reflections on his support for Parliament and the Cromwellian Protectorate. Written in 1659, it became highly controversial, leading to Baxter's public repudiation and its inclusion in a notorious book-burning by Oxford University in 1683. The scandal has often overshadowed its significance, making it a key text for understanding the tensions within Puritan thought during a tumultuous period in English history.
