By Frank Bate

Book Overview

""The Declaration of Indulgence, 1672: A Study in the Rise of Organized Dissent"" by Frank Bate is a historical study of the Declaration of Indulgence issued by King Charles II in 1672, which granted religious toleration to nonconformists in England. Bate examines the political and religious context of the declaration, the reaction of different groups to it, and the impact it had on the development of dissenting communities. He also explores the role of dissenting groups in shaping English society and politics in the late seventeenth century. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources, including pamphlets, sermons, and letters, Bate sheds light on the complex and often contentious relationship between the state and religious minorities in early modern England. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of British history, religious studies, and political science, as well as anyone interested in the history of religious tolerance and dissent.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
