Introduction: religion and the historiography of the English civil War / Glenn Burgess -- Sacred kingship in France and England in the age of the Wars of Religion: from disenchantment to re-enchantment? / Ronald Asch -- The continental counter reformation and the plausibility of the popish, 1638-1642 / Robert Von Friedeburg -- The mind of William Laud / Alan Cromartie -- Cannons and constitutions / Charles W.A. Prior -- Prayer Book and protestation: anti-popery, anti-Puritanism and the outbreak of the English Civil War / Michael Braddick -- Sir Simonds d'Ewes: a "respectable conservative" or a "fiery spirit" / J. Sears McGee -- Wars of religion and royalist political thought / Glenn Burgess -- Natural law and holy war in the English Revolution / Sarah Mortimer -- Oliver Cromwell on religion and resistance / Rachel Foxley -- Oliver Cromwell and the cause of civil and religious liberty / Blair Worden -- England's exodus: the Civil War as a war of deliverance / John Coffey -- Restoration anti-Catholicism: a prejudice in motion / Jeffrey R. Collins -- Renaming england's Wars of Religion / John Morrill.
Summary: In this collection, leading scholars address John Morrill's suggestion the constitutional conflict that wracked the British Isles in the mid-seventeenth century was fuelled primarily by religious beliefs, rather than secular political ideas. The essays revisit concepts of the culture of allegiance, looking at what motivated minorities to fight, whilst emphasising the many elements of fundamental agreement that existed between the warring factions.
