Publisher's Synopsis
The Works of W. Chillingworth is a collection of writings by the English theologian, William Chillingworth, originally published in 1836. Chillingworth was a prominent figure in the Church of England during the 17th century and is best known for his defense of religious tolerance and his rejection of religious authority. The collection includes his most famous work, The Religion of Protestants, which argues for the right of individual interpretation of scripture and the rejection of papal authority. Other works in the collection include his controversial debate with the Jesuit priest, John Fisher, and his defense of the Church of England against Catholicism. The book provides a fascinating insight into the religious debates of the 17th century and the development of religious thought in England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
