History & Biography

“Robert D. Cornwall’s happily reissued and revised book comprehensively affirms the richness of the high church and nonjuring traditions within Anglicanism between the Revolution of 1688 and the mid-eighteenth century. He rightly insists that the nonjuror movement may have had a Jacobite dimension but, no less importantly, that it had firm theological foundations that would not compromise the church’s spiritual integrity. Scholars and students will be gratified to have Cornwall’s assessment of this enduring belief system once more readily available.”
