Book Overview

""The Puritans In Power"" is a historical study of the English Church from 1640 to 1660, written by Geoffrey B. Tatham and originally published in 1913. The book focuses on the period of Puritan dominance in English politics and religion, which began with the Long Parliament and ended with the Restoration of the monarchy. Tatham examines the various factions within the Puritan movement, including the Presbyterians, Independents, and Baptists, and their efforts to reform the Church of England. He also explores the political and social context in which these reforms took place, including the English Civil War and the rise of Oliver Cromwell's Protectorate. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources and historical records, Tatham provides a comprehensive account of the Puritan era and its impact on the English Church and society.
