Summary:

Originally published in 1967, this book is a history of church puritanism as a movement and as a political and ecclesiastical organism; of its membership structure and internal contradictions; of the quest for a further reformation'. It tells the fascinating story of the rise of a revolutionary moment and its ultimate destruction.
