The Anarchy of the Ranters, and Other Libertines, the Hierarchy of the Romanists, and Other Pretended Churches, Equally Refused, and Refuted: In a ... Called in Derision Quakers (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book explores the foundations of an Early Christian anarchy rooting itself in the advocacy for a non-hierarchical Church through the examination of a specific movement known as Ranters. Originating in the 17th-century England in the wake of the Civil War, the Ranters rejected the traditional idea of an organized Church authority. They proclaimed direct spiritual guidance through their own consciences, believing that it was unnecessary to seek direction or judgment from others. The author examines this movement through the broader historical and religious context of the time, delving into the origins, beliefs, and practices of the Ranters, as well as the responses to their movement from both the established Church and other dissenting groups. By weaving together primary source material with in-depth analysis, this book provides a comprehensive and balanced perspective on the Ranter movement, offering valuable insights into the nature of religious authority, the role of the individual conscience, and the complexities of religious dissent.
