`it remains true that this book is one of the most important and
suggestive contributions to early seventeenth-century
ecclesiastical history to have appeared for a very long time. ...
The book and its argument ... are as powerful as ever.'
Times Literary Supplement
`illuminating detail and rich suggestions'
Times Literary Supplement
`one of the most distinguished and most fertile dissertations to
have been produced by the doctoral belt'
London Review of Books
`Certain to force scholars to re-evaluate their views on English
religion under the early Stuarts, but the implications of
[Tyacke's] work extend far beyond the bounds of ecclesiastical
history ... closely argued, based on wide-ranging research, and
because of its potential to rearrange accepted truth, fills the
reader with a sense of genuine excitement.'
Choice
`a carefully concentrated book, rich in detail, and ingenious in
tracking down people on the fringe of the movement'
New York Review of Books
`detailed and enthralling study ... This valuable book, one to be
read by anyone with an interest in English church history, and
particularly in the history of Calvinism.'
The Banner of Truth
`this book is one of the most important and suggestive
contributions to early seventeenth-century ecclesiastical history
to have appeared for a very long time ... The book and its argument
... are as powerful as ever.'
Times Literary Supplement
'Nicholas Tyacke has written a very detailed and well documented
study of the rise of the anti-Calvinist ... party in the Church of
England ... This work is thus a valuable contribution to the
historiography of the period and essential reading for students of
both the ecclesiastical and political history of the time. This is
a fascinating and informative book. Its attention to detail is
impressive and for this reason alone it is essential reading
for
serious students of the period. The availability of Anti-Calvinists
in paperback, and thus at a price affordable by most students, is
very welcome.'
Calvinism Today
`Tyacke's great accomplishment is to show, from the original
records of the period, how the Arminians successfully blackened the
reputation of Calvinists...Dr Tyacke deserves the greatest praise
for showing how, by brilliant propaganda, the English people were
eventually diverted from the brief triumph of a democratic
religious and political movement back to intolerance and the rule
of privilege for several more centuries. His book is revelation of
how
high-minded lies are not only created - but kept alive.'
