Originally published in 1935, this book examines the history of the English Presbyterian movement in terms of its connection with the surrounding cultural environment. Covering the period between 1662 and the formation of Unitarianism during the early nineteenth century, it provides a detailed analysis of the movement and its ideas. The relationship between Presbyterian thought and contemporary developments in science and philosophy is given particular attention. From this perspective, the history of the Presbyterian movement can be seen as forming part of the larger question of the relationship between secular learning and religious credenda. This is a fascinating book that will be of value to anyone with an interest in religious or cultural history.
