Of Reformation Touching Church-discipline in England. Edited With Introd., Notes, and Glossary

By Will Taliaferro 1880- Hale and John 1608-1674 Milton

This edition of John Milton's "Of Reformation Touching Church-Discipline in England" offers a critical examination of a pivotal work in the history of English religious and political thought. Originally published in 1641, this treatise showcases Milton's early engagement with the debates surrounding church reform and his fervent advocacy for a more decentralized and individualistic approach to religious practice.

Edited with a comprehensive introduction, detailed notes, and a glossary by Will Taliaferro Hale, this volume provides valuable context for understanding Milton's arguments within the broader framework of the English Reformation. Readers will gain insight into the complex social, political, and religious landscape of 17th-century England, as well as Milton's evolving ideas on liberty, conscience, and the role of the individual in shaping religious and political institutions. This edition is essential for scholars and students interested in Milton's prose, the history of religious reform, and the intellectual currents of early modern England.
