The Cambridge Companion to Puritanism (Cambridge Companions to Religion)
'This is a particularly important volume that takes students beyond the traditional views of Puritanism to demonstrate its intense diversity.' The Historical Association'... no recent survey has done justice to the recent flowering of scholarship. This book now fills that gap admirably. It brings together essays from 20 authors, who focus their remarkable expertise in short but scholarly chapters.' Church Times'For ... spiritual and ... academic students of Puritanism, Coffey and his co-editor, Paul C. H. Lim, have compiled a reference work of exceptional scope and balance.' Church History' ... a fine addition to the series and a cause for celebration ...' The Journal of Ecclesiastical History'... a useful one-volume compendium of a notorious subject ... an important work...' Leif Dixon, English Historical Review'... the whole volume is an excellent introduction to early modern Puritanism which demonstrates its rich diversity, impact and legacy in this period and beyond.' Kenneth Gibson, History'... an excellent overview ... both a perfect introduction for the undergraduate student and useful to the specialist.' Kyle DiRoberto, Sixteenth Century Journal
