The book delves into the controversies of the 18th and 19th centuries, including debates over the role of the Church in society, the relationship between Church and state, and the rise of evangelicalism. Molesworth also provides biographical sketches of key figures in the Church's history, including bishops, theologians, and reformers. Overall, ""History of the Church of England from 1660"" is a valuable resource for scholars and students of Church history, as well as anyone interested in the development of Anglicanism and its impact on British society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
