The Puritans in Power

Originally published in 1913, this book presents a study of the effect of the Puritan Revolution upon the Church of England and the Universities, as institutions closely connected with the Church. The text focuses on the immediate and material results of the Revolution, rather than the influence exercised upon religious thought, the future history of parties within the Church or the relations of the Church to Dissent. Evidence is collected regarding the methods through which the Revolution was accomplished and the outward aspects of the Puritan movement. Appendices are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Puritanism, British history and the history of Christianity.
