Overview

This volume forms part of the collected works of William Laud (1573-1645), Archbishop of Canterbury, a highly influential and controversial figure in the religious and political landscape of 17th-century England. Laud's efforts to reform the Church of England along more formal and ritualistic lines aroused intense opposition from Puritans and other Protestant factions, ultimately contributing to the outbreak of the English Civil War. This collection provides invaluable insight into Laudâ€(TM)s theological and ecclesiastical views, as well as the religious controversies of his time. It is essential reading for scholars and anyone interested in the history of the Church of England, the Stuart period, and the development of religious thought in early modern Europe.
