Synopsis

Whitgift’s Defense of the Answer to the Admonition A scholarly response from 17th‑century England that examines church discipline, ministry, and the role of civil law in religious life. This volume presents Whitgift’s arguments against Cartwright’s Admonition and Replie, with notes and editorial context that illuminate the debates shaping the English church.

The text defends the established church structure, discusses how ministers are chosen and how the church governs worship and the sacraments, and weighs the scope of civil authority over religious practice. It also includes editorial notes, addenda, and references to other controversial works of the period, offering a window into early modern religious controversy and its practical stakes.

What you’ll experience
- Arguments about the balance of church governance and civil authority
- Discussion of how reading ministers, preaching, and sacraments are to be handled
- Quotations and references that reveal the rhetorical style of the era
- Editorial notes that help place the debates in historical context

Ideal for readers of religious history, early modern theology, and discussions of church and state in Tudor and Stuart England.
