About this title

Synopsis

This book reestablishes the importance of religion in the historical assessment of the Glorious Revolution and its consequences. The distinguished scholars who contributed to this volume explore a variety of themes, including the nature of religious dissent, the idea of freedom of conscience, and attitudes towards the Huguenot community. They examine not only Protestant dissent, but also Catholicism, Judaism, and Deism.

The centrepiece of the volume is Jonathan Israel's superb essay on William III and toleration.' Colin Kidd, Journal of Ecclesiastical History `interesting collection' Anne Whiteman, Huguenot Society Proceedings `Some essays take very broad themes and offer elegant and neatly illustrated commentaries on the familiar ... it the collection] does offer a variety of distinctive comfits for those with a sweet tooth.' John Morrill, The Higher `the fifteen contributors to From Persecution to Toleration successfully reemphasize the importance of the Glorious Revolution as a religious watershed' Journal of Interdisciplinary History
