Edward Reynolds

History & Biography

“This book has enlarged my understanding of a particular ecclesiastical leader, Edward Reynolds, in a particularly pivotal point in English history (most of the seventeenth century), where theological and political forces were hard at work. From humble beginnings, and ostensibly hopeless prospects, young Reynolds was on a trajectory that would lead him to be master of academia, wise and admired theologian, arbiter of church-state politics, and pastor-priest-bishop beyond reproach. I read this fast-paced and fascinating biography with anticipation, filling in details to my own Presbyterian/Reformed theology studies.”
