¿QUIÉNES ERAN REALMENTE LOS PURITANOS?La era puritana fue extremadamente importante en la formación de la constitución inglesa y su efecto sobre la iglesia. Nos dio una tradición de teología pastoral sin igual en la historia del mundo evangélico protestante. Hoy en día, una parte significativa de la iglesia ha decidido que su ministerio actual debe llevarse a cabo de forma pragmática en lugar de teológica. Lo que funciona" es más importante que "lo que es más bíblico". Si queremos ser eficaces en el siglo XXI, necesitamos sentarnos a los pies de los puritanos.Aunque la contribución e influencia de los puritanos ha sido muy extendida, poco se conoce sobre sus orígenes, creencias, y conflictos en los que se vieron envueltos. El puritanismo, a menudo malinterpretado, fue un movimiento dentro de la Iglesia Establecida de Inglaterra. Su objetivo era alinear las prácticas eclesiásticas con la reforma protestante continental. Este libro aporta una contribución histórica para una mejor comprensión de los puritanos. Este trabajo destaca por incorporar múltiples elementos que la enriquecen, la posicionan como una versión excepcionalmente más completa en comparación con su original en inglés. Tres componentes clave diferencian esta versión de la edición inglesa.Primero, además de ser una traducción total y precisa del trabajo original de Brown, sin abreviaciones o reducciones, esta edición incluye una cantidad considerable de contenido adicional ausente en la versión original. Se han incorporado más de sesenta notas aclaratorias al texto de Brown, que no solo clarifican y expanden la información presentada sino que también ofrecen valiosos detalles sobre el contexto histórico, político y social de varios eventos importantes. Estas anotaciones son una herramienta indispensable para profundizar en el tema, ampliando la información proporcionada por Brown.En segundo lugar, se han incluido un apéndice y una introducción breve del libro de Nick Needham, "2000 Años del poder de Cristo: La era del conflicto religioso - Vol. 4". Esta adición ayuda a compensar algunas de las deficiencias y omisiones de la obra original de Brown, mejorando considerablemente su precisión histórica con los descubrimientos más recientes en este campo de estudio.Finalmente, la inclusión de títulos y subtítulos a lo largo del texto divide cada capítulo en secciones más cortas, facilitando la lectura y comprensión de los conceptos presentados. Además, se ha añadido un índice de nombres al final del libro para facilitar su navegación temática. Todos estos elementos enriquecen la calidad de esta obra, estableciéndola como única en relación a las publicaciones existentes en español sobre este tema. Sobre el autor: John Brown (1830-1922) fue un destacado historiador y pastor británico, nacido en Manchester, y conocido por su profundo interés y estudio de los puritanos ingleses; y como uno de los lideres principales de la Iglesia Congregacional en Inglaterra. Brown realizo estudios Manchester, y Lancashire; y realizo estudios de postgrado en la prestigiosa Universidad de Londres, graduándose en 1853. No solo fue un académico, sino también pastor. Su obra e interés por los puritanos comenzó en 1864 cuando se convirtió en pastor de la histórica iglesia de Bunyan en Bedford, siendo el noveno pastor de la iglesia. Aunque muchos suponen que Bunyan fue el fundador y primer pastor de la iglesia, en realidad fue el tercero, siendo John Gifford el primero. Brown es mejor recordado por su obra biográfica de John Bunyan, la primera biografía moderna de Bunyan. Esta obra biográfica sobre Bunyan le valió el título de Doctor en Divinidad, otorgado por la Universidad de Yale en 1885.

Both interesting and disturbing, learn all about the alleged attempt to murder James I and VI before he became King of England, the plots at court involving 'poisoned tarts', to the marriage court scandal of George III.'There is nothing new under the sun', a phrase ascribed originally to King Solomon, applies to the present book, with echoes of 'modern' themes exposing royal scandal, sex, corruption, political absolutism - attempted - religious controversy, danger of mass-terrorism, murder and 'suspicious' deaths, 'fake news' and international threat from superpowers. And all focusing on inside stories which today would be 'investigative journalism' with huge popular media interest. This is history for both specialists and, especially, for general readers, given media interest, including TV and film coverage in 'exciting' popular history, as set out by the author.The earlier 'Royal Mysteries' in the series were full of tragedy, suffering, pathos, heroism and romance, but the present set are equally interesting and disturbing and revisionist. These include the alleged attempt to murder James I and VI before the became King of England; the scandal at court involving 'poisoned tarts', James' 'toy-boy', and a subsequent murder trial. And the following questions and mysteries: did Charles II really promise to convert to Catholicism to please Louis XIV; did Charles marry his mistress Lucy Walter, mother of rebel Duke of Monmouth; was James II and VII an enlightened religious reformer or trying to convert England to Catholicism - the religion of European superpowers; did George I 'disappear' (a 'hit' in modern terms) his divorced wife's lover before ascending the English throne; did the unpopular Duke of Cumberland murder his gay lover; did the hugely admired 'respectable' George III, devoted husband and father, marry a middle-class Quaker woman?

'A sweeping, scintillatingly original, exciting exploration of writer, spy, power player, lover Aphra Behn' Kate Williams, historian and author of Rival Queens: The Betrayal of Mary, Queen of Scots----A CLANDESTINE AFFAIR 'Whereas the Lady Henrietta Berkeley has been absent from her Father's house since the 20th August last past... AN OUTRAGEOUS ELOPEMENT ... and is not yet known where she is, nor whether she is alive or dead. STOLEN LETTERS, SCHEMING SERVANTS These are to give notice That whoever shall find her, so that she may be brought back to her Father, the Earl of Berkeley, they shall have 200 Pounds Reward' SEX. SENSATION. CELEBRITY. This is The Scandal of the Century - and the true story of the author Aphra Behn, who used a shocking love affair to create the first English novel . . . ----In 1682, a young woman in the throes of a passionate affair flees her parents' home in Surrey to seek a new life in London. A scandal in its own right, but this is no ordinary young woman: Lady Henrietta Berkeley is the daughter of one of England's most powerful men, and her lover is her own sister's husband. As news of this notorious adulteress spreads, her flight, capture and the lawsuit that follow tear through society as the scandal of the century.To Aphra Behn, England's first professional female writer - herself condemned as a scarlet woman of loose morals - Henrietta's trial would be more than a source of shock and intrigue: it would inspire her to write Love Letters Between a Nobleman and His Sister, an outrageous and bestselling political fiction and arguably the first novel in English literature.Aphra herself is an enigma, the facts about her life continually disputed. By revealing the story of these two rebellious and ruthless women, Lisa Hilton's new history offers a surprisingly original theory on the origins of one of England's most celebrated playwrights. Against the backdrop of seventeenth-century England, with its strict traditional conventions of love, duty and identity, The Scandal of the Century shows just how far both women will go to break free.

The resumption of conflict between 1648 and 1651 is frequently referred to as the Second and Third Civil Wars. The period marked not only a return to war, but to a bloodier, more violent conflict that had perhaps been seen before in the British Isles. Massacre, summary executions, wonton destruction and assault on the civilian population were commonplace. In early 1648 a political faction called the 'Engagers' gained control of the Scottish Government and sent an army into England to support numerous pro-Royalist risings across the country. Poorly equipped and trained with low morale, the Scottish 'Engager' Army and its Royalist allies were no match for the New Model Army led by Cromwell. The two sides met at Preston in August 1648 and after an initial clash, the Scots finally surrendered at Warrington two days later.Following the execution of Charles Ist in January 1649, the Scots supporting his son Charles IInd went to war against England, now a republic. A second invasion of England was launched, and the Scots found themselves corned at Worcester by English forces, once again led by Oliver Cromwell. The battle, the last major action of the British Civil Wars was fought on the 3rd September 1651, was described by Cromwell as 'a crowning mercy'.The venue for the 2022 conference was Worcester Cathedral. The obvious theme for the conference was the Scottish invasions of England in 1648 and 1651. Not only did Worcester witness the last major battle of the British Civil Wars, but the Cathedral was used as a temporary prison to hold the Scottish prisoners.The papers in this book of proceedings include: Ronald Hutton - Key Note Speaker and ForewordStuart Jennings - Colonel Francis Thornhagh and the Battle of Preston, 1648Peter Gaunt - A Tale of Two Risings: Was the second civil war in England and Wales primarily pro-Royalist or anti-Parliamentarian?Malcolm Wanklyn - The Control of Command in the British Wars 1642-1651 Edward Furgol - Three armies into one?
