English Church History from the Death of Charles I to the Death of William III

1907. Dr. Plummer, late Master of University College, Durham, shows how skillfully a learned man, who is also a teacher of experience, can gather, and invest with something of a new freshness, the conclusions of original authorities and modern investigators. He has read very widely, and he has the art of seizing the salient points and making them emphatic by a sharpness of phrase, or an aptness of quotation, which help to fix them in the memory. Eminently candid, judicious, and unprejudiced-There is no wonder these lectures have been widely popular. Contents: The Triumph and Failure of Puritanism; Restoration and Retaliation; The Struggle for Religious Toleration; and The Latitudinarian Failure and Success.Plummer, Alfred is the author of 'English Church History from the Death of Charles I to the Death of William III', published 2007 under ISBN 9780548017401 and ISBN 0548017409.
