Overview
This fascinating work is the first overview of its subject to be published in more than half a century. The issues it deals with are key to early modern political, religious and cultural history. Introduced with a survey of concepts and theory, it moves on to examine the practice of toleration at the time of Elizabeth I and the Stuarts, the Puritan Revolution and the Restoration. The seventeenth century emerges as a turning point after which, for the first time, a good Christian society also had to be a tolerant one.
