| Sumario: | "This study explores puritan attitudes through the life and works of Elizabethan minister George Gifford. Using archival records and Gifford's large corpus of published treatises, dialogues, and sermons, McGinnis looks at Gifford's support and opposition in his ministry at Maldon, and his recurring conflicts with ecclesiastical authorities. He explores Gifford's writings on Catholicism, separatism, and witchcraft, and considers how Gifford's attention to practical ministry interacted with national debates. McGinnis also analyzes Gifford's attempt to translate Protestant doctrines into a language accessible to the average layperson on his sermons and catechism." "Those interested in popular religion and culture, pastoral ministry, and puritanism on both sides of the Atlantic will benefit from this study of one on the front lines of religious controversies during the turbulent years of Elizabeth's reign."--Jacket |
