Pulpit in Parliament

The book explores the intersection of Puritanism and political events during the lead-up to the English Civil War, focusing on a program of national humiliation initiated by King Charles I and adopted by Parliament. It examines the sermons delivered by prominent Puritan clerics, analyzing over 240 published works to uncover their perspectives on the relationship between their religious beliefs and the political turmoil of the time. Professor Wilson aims to clarify the significance of these sermons in understanding the broader implications of the Puritan movement.
