Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a historical study of the Church of England's stance on the act of resistance against a sovereign or ruling power. The author investigates the evolution of the church's doctrines on obedience to authority, and how these doctrines have been applied in practice throughout English history. The book examines seminal moments, such as the Reformation and the Glorious Revolution of 1688, demonstrating that the church has often sanctioned resistance to oppression, challenging the misconception that the Church of England has always espoused absolute non-resistance. This scholarly work offers a fresh perspective on the church's role in safeguarding liberties and protecting the rights of individuals against tyrannical rule, shedding light on the complex relationship between religion, politics, and the struggle for freedom. Its insights are not only historically significant but also contribute to our understanding of the ongoing debate on the limits of authority and the legitimacy of resistance in the face of oppression. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
