Books by Peter Lake

New scrutinies of the most important political and religious debates of the post-Reformation period.

The first general study of different attitudes to conformity and the political and cultural significance of the resulting consensus on what came to be regarded as orthodox.

Analyses the tensions and contradictions within the 'religion of protestants' that dominated great swathes of the early Stuart church. This book studies puritan theology and intra-puritan theological dispute. It also studies lay clerical relations and the politics of the parish.
