New Book: Church Life
Pastors, Congregations, and the Experience of Dissent in Seventeenth-Century England
Edited by Michael Davies, Anne Dunan-Page, and Joel Halcomb
- Considers the history and religious culture of seventeenth-century Dissent from the perspective of the kinds of ‘church life’ shaped and experienced not just by Dissenting ministers but also ordinary church members
- Redefines the ‘experience of Dissent’ in collective and communal terms, rather than as something characterized solely by individual ‘religious experience’, notably conversion
- Features ten original contributions by internationally recognized scholars who are experts in the fields of seventeenth-century history, literature, and religion
