The Later Non-Jurors
"The Later Non-Jurors" provides a comprehensive scholarly examination of one of the most significant schisms in the history of the Church of England. Following the Glorious Revolution of 1688, a group of clergy and laity refused to swear allegiance to William and Mary, maintaining their original oath to James II. This work specifically focuses on the movement's evolution through the 18th century, tracing its internal theological debates, liturgical developments, and eventual decline.
Henry Broxap offers a detailed narrative of the later stages of this movement, exploring the "Usages" controversy that fractured the group and their complex interactions with the Jacobite cause. The book highlights key figures such as Thomas Brett and Jeremy Collier, illustrating their profound impact on Anglican liturgy and ecclesiology. By analyzing primary manuscripts and contemporary records, this study provides invaluable insight into the intersection of political loyalty and religious conviction during a period of intense ecclesiastical transition. "The Later Non-Jurors" remains an essential resource for those interested in British history, the development of the High Church tradition, and the enduring questions of church-state relations.
