Making Toleration - The Repealers and the Glorious Revolution

Klappentext Scott Sowerby's groundbreaking history overturns traditional interpretations of King James II's reign and the origins of the Glorious Revolution. Zusammenfassung Though James II is often depicted as a Catholic despot who imposed his faith! Scott Sowerby reveals a king ahead of his time who pressed for religious toleration at the expense of his throne. The Glorious Revolution was in fact a conservative counter-revolution against the movement for enlightened reform that James himself encouraged and sustained.
