The Struggle With Puritanism by Bruce Blaxland is a historical book that delves into the complex relationship between the Puritans and the English monarchy during the 17th century. Blaxland explores the religious, political, and social tensions that arose as Puritanism gained popularity and influence in England, and how this ultimately led to the English Civil War.The book examines the origins of Puritanism, its beliefs and practices, and its impact on English society. Blaxland also looks at the various attempts by the monarchy to suppress Puritanism, including the infamous ""Book of Sports"" controversy and the persecution of nonconformist ministers.Throughout the book, Blaxland provides detailed accounts of key figures and events, such as the trial and execution of Archbishop Laud, the rise of Oliver Cromwell, and the eventual restoration of the monarchy under Charles II.Overall, The Struggle With Puritanism offers a fascinating insight into one of the most turbulent periods in English history, and the ongoing battle between religious freedom and political power.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
