This careful study explores puritan attitudes through the life and works of Elizabethan minister George Gifford. He was on the front lines of religious controversies in a time when the English church was being shaped by Protestant evangelicals who felt compelled to carry their understanding of true religion to all corners of England. Known among themselves as the godly or gospellers and to their enemies as puritans or precisionists, these ministers believed the Church of England was only partially reformed. Gifford tried to convert the many parishioners whom he believed to be Protestant in name only, or men indifferent due to their acceptance of whatever religion was thrust upon them. Using archival records and Gifford s large corpus of published treatises, dialogues, and sermons, McGinnis looks at Gifford s support and opposition in his ministry at Maldon, and his recurring conflicts with ecclesiastical authorities. He explores Gifford s writings on Catholicism, separatism, and witchcraft, and considers how Gifford s attention to practical ministry interacted with national debates. McGinnis also analyzes Gifford s attempt to translate Protestant doctrines into a language accessible to the average layperson in his sermons and catechism.

This careful study explores puritan attitudes through the life and works of Elizabethan
minister George Gifford. He was on the front lines of religious controversies in a time
when the English church was being shaped by Protestant evangelicals who felt
compelled to carry their understanding of true religion to all corners of England. Known
among themselves as the godly or gospellers and to their enemies as puritans or
precisionists, these ministers believed the Church of England was only partially
reformed. Gifford tried to convert the many parishioners whom he believed to be
Protestant in name only, or men indifferent due to their acceptance of whatever religion
was thrust upon them. Using archival records and Gifford s large corpus of published
treatises, dialogues, and sermons, McGinnis looks at Gifford s support and opposition
in his ministry at Maldon, and his recurring conflicts with ecclesiastical authorities. He
explores Gifford s writings on Catholicism, separatism, and witchcraft, and considers
how Gifford s attention to practical ministry interacted with national debates. McGinnis
also analyzes Gifford s attempt to translate Protestant doctrines into a language
accessible to the average layperson in his sermons and catechism.READ book George Gifford And The Reformation Of The Common Sort: Puritan Priorities In Elizabethan Religious Life (Sixteenth Century Essays Studies, V. 70 ) (Timothy Scott Mcginnis ) Online Free Donwload Here http://myebookpdf.com/?book=193111241X This careful study explores puritan attitudes through the life and works of Elizabethan minister George Gifford.
