Works - Laud, William

. .

Résumé :

This is Volume 2 of the collected Works of William Laud (1573-1645), Archbishop of Canterbury, a significant figure in the religious and political landscape of 17th-century England. Laud's career was marked by controversy as he sought to enforce religious uniformity within the Church of England, a policy that brought him into conflict with Puritans and Parliamentarians. This volume offers a comprehensive look at Laud's writings, sermons, and correspondence, providing valuable insights into his theological beliefs, his vision for the Church, and the events that shaped his tumultuous life. His policies are considered to be one of the main causes of the English Civil War.

Students and scholars of English history, religious studies, and political thought will find this volume an invaluable resource for understanding one of the most influential and controversial figures of his time.
