In our scholarly rush to classify early modern thinkers and writers according to religious confessions, we have unwittingly overlooked thinkers who regretted the fragmentation that confessionalism imposed, those who longed for a united Christianity however impractical its realization may have been. Stillman's argument is fresh, persuasive, and important. -Susannah Monta, author of Martyrdom and Literature in Early Modern England
