Based upon a series of lectures given at Stanford University under the auspices of the Francis Bacon Foundation in 1961, the essays not only discuss the life, writings, and main ideas of these eight thinkers, but also characterize through a connecting text the place each of them occupied in the general intellectual development of the Italian Renaissance. In the present work, the lectures have been revised and provided with references and a bibliography. $5.00 Anglican and Puritan T H E BASIS OF T H E I R OPPOSITION 1 5 5 8 - 1 6 4 0 JOHN F. H. NEW The long struggle between Anglicans and Puritans in 16th- and 17th- century England is here approached from a fresh standpoint. The in­ terpretation avoids the prevailing view that the basis of the Anglican- Puritan conflict was political and economic, and that the theological differences between the two groups were just rhetoric masking secular preoccupations. It suggests, instead, that these theological differences were the very essence of the conflict. The thesis of this book, then, is that differences over government and ritual, scriptural uses against traditional forms, were but manifestations of far deeper doctrinal dif­ ferences concerning the nature of man, the role of the Church visible, ex­ pectations of the sacraments, and eschatology. $4.50 Order from your bookstore, please S T A N F O R D U N I V E R S I T Y PRESS available at https://www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0009640700116531 Downloaded from https://www.cambridge.org/core.
