Summary note
'Calvinist Conformity in Post-Reformation England' is a modern, full-scale examination of the theology and life of the distinguished English Calvinist clergyman Daniel Featley (1582-1645). It offers a comprehensive treatment of his two dozen published works and manuscripts and situates these works within their original historical context. The work uses Featley's career to trace the fortunes of Calvinist conformists - those English Calvinists who were committed to the established Church and represented the Church's majority position between 1560 and the mid-1620s - and offers a more nuanced perspective on the priorities and political maneuvers of these figures and the politics of religion in post-Reformation England.
