Part 1 The Catholic polity and its passing: the order of island life - secular; the order of island life - religious; Reformation - Henry VIII to Mary; Reformation - Elizabeth. Part 2 The Calvinist regime: discipline - structures; discipline - enforcement; Calvinism, poverty and prosperity. Appendices: a list of 16th-century fraternities and lights; elite Protestants, circa 1565; the Protestant Royal Court, 1565; Royal Court convictions for paillardize and adultery, 1565-1635; graphs relating to Sunday collections.
An authoritative account of the Reformation in a very special,
tightly-knit community. Dr Ogier's work is exactly the kind of
close-up study which the historian of sixteenth-century religion
now requires. Professor J.J. SCARISBRICK The establishment in the
Channel Islands of Presbyterian churches on strict Genevan lines is
one of the oddities of Elizabethan history... a valuable and
intriguing examination of Calvinism in a particular context.
