Review
"Hampton writes with enviable clarity and precision. It is a study that anyone interested in the theological controversies of the late Stuart church will have to read." --Church History
Product Description
This book is a study of the Anglican
Reformed tradition (often inaccurately described as Calvinist) after the
Restoration. Hampton sets out to revise our picture of the theological world of
the later Stuart period. Arguing that the importance of the Reformed theological
tradition has frequently been underestimated, his study points to a network of
conforming reformed theologians which included many of the most prominent
churchmen of the age. Focussing particularly on what these
churchmen contributed in three hotly disputed areas of doctrine (justification, the Trinity and the divine attributes), he argues that the most significant debates in speculative theology after 1662 were the result of the Anglican Reformed resistance to the growing influence of continental Arminianism.
Hampton demonstrates the strength and flexibility of the Reformed response to the developing Arminian school, and shows that the Reformed tradition remained a viable theological option for Anglicans well into the eighteenth century. This study therefore provides a significant bridge linking the Reformed writes of the Elizabethan and early Stuart periods to the Reformed Evangelicals of the eighteenth century. It also shows that, throughout its formative period, Anglicanism was not a monolithic tradition, but rather a contested ground between the competing claims of those adhering to the Church of England's Reformed doctrinal heritage and the insights of those who, to varying degrees, were prepared to explore new theological avenues.
