Public Religious Disputation in England, 1558-1626

Zusatztext 'Rodda has done a fine job! and raised various questions for further study or! indeed! an edition of extant texts of disputations as a handbook. The monograph because of its terse style demands careful reading! but the effort is worthwhile.' Journal of Jesuit Studies Informationen zum Autor Joshua Rodda is an early career researcher and tutor in the History Department at the University of Nottingham, where in 2012 he completed a doctoral dissertation on public religious disputation in post-Reformation England. This, his first book, represents the culmination of more than five years’ research, speaking and publication on the topic. Klappentext With a focus on England from the accession of Elizabeth I to the mid-1620s, this book examines the practice of public, academic religious disputation between opposing Catholic, Protestant and nonconformist puritan divines. Introducing a form of discourse hitherto neglected, the volume works to rehabilitate a body of material only previously examined as part of the mass of polemic produced in the wake of the Reformation. In so doing, it argues that public religious disputation can offer insights into contemporary beliefs and conceptions of religious identity, as well as an accessible window into the major theological controversies of the age.
