Publisher's Description

'Scottish and English Christians are greatly indebted to George Ella for reviving and greatly expanding their knowledge of the tireless and many-sided work of one of their own Christian scholars, who lived in troubled times and laboured in many parts of Europe as well as in his own country to expand learning and to foster international Protestant understanding.' Roger T. Beckwith, M.A., B.D., D.D. Former Warden, Latimer House, Oxford. 'George Ella has written a rich and compelling account of a seminal seventeenth-century figure. Scholars of puritanism and its intellectual contexts across the disciplines will be enormously in his debt.' Prof. Dr. Crawford Gibben, B.A., M.A., Ph.D., F.R. Hist. S., F.T.C.D.. Trinity College, Dublin
