Summary:

The Reformed Conformity that flourished within the Early Stuart English Church was a distinctive theological tradition that has never before been studied in its own right. While scholars have observed how Reformed Conformists clashed with Laudians & Puritans alike, no sustained study of their teaching on grace & their attitude to the Church has yet been undertaken, despite the acknowledged centrality of these topics to Early Stuart theological controversy. This monograph recovers this essential strand of Early Stuart Christian identity. It examines & analyses the teaching & writings of ten prominent theologians, all of whom made significant contributions to the debates that arose within the Church of England during the reigns of James I & Charles I & all of whom combined their loyalty to orthodox Reformed teaching on grace & salvation, with a commitment to the established polity of the English Church.
