In these days of spiritual ignorance in the country and doctrinal laxity in the church, many Anglicans look back to former times with a certain degree of wistfulness. One date lingers in the collective Anglican memory as suggestive of a golden era: 1662.
Yet 1662 was not a good year for those to whom the gospel and a good conscience were more precious than the institutional church. Hundreds of ‘evangelical’ puritan ministers were forced to leave the Church of England. Persecution of “dissenters” such as Richard Baxter, John Bunyan, and John Owen continued for a quarter of a century as they were banned from preaching and their like-minded congregations forbidden to meet.
This study examines the reasons for the Great Ejection and Persecution, and the things modern day Anglicans and Free Churches can learn from these easily neglected events.
60 pages.
A very informative book. It outlines the clash between the English Puritans (reformers) and the established church of England. The former being committed to biblical truth and the believers conscience, the latter guarding the status quo of both church and state. One of many lessons learnt from this book by Lee Gatiss is found in Ecclesiastes 1:9 .....there is nothing new under the sun. When we ignore history it will be to our detriment. For those who enjoy history this book is well worth reading.
