The Reformed Conformity that flourished within the Early Stuart English Church was a rich, vibrant and distinctive theological tradition that has never before been studied in its own right. While scholars have observed how Reformed Conformists clashed with Laudians and Puritans alike, no sustained academic study of their teaching on grace and their attitude to the Church has yet been undertaken, despite the centrality of these topics to Early Stuart theologicalcontroversy. This ground-breaking monograph recovers this essential strand of Early Stuart Christian identity, examining the teachings and writings of ten prominent theologians

This unique study of the Church of England between the 1660s and 1720s addresses the neglected research area of the Reformed school of thought and its powerful influence on the later eighteenth century church and evangelical revival. Hampton also explores consequences for understanding Anglican identity today.
