Publisher's Synopsis
""History of the Church of England from 1660"" is a comprehensive account of the Church of England's development from the Restoration period to the 19th century. Written by William Nassau Molesworth, a prominent historian of the Victorian era, the book offers a detailed analysis of the political, social, and religious forces that shaped the Church of England during this time. Molesworth examines the impact of the Restoration on the Church, including the revival of Anglicanism under Charles II and the subsequent conflicts between the Church and dissenting groups. He also explores the influence of the Enlightenment and the rise of Methodism on the Church's theology and practice. 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.
