EARLY HISTORY OF RELIGION. Imagine holding history in your hands. Now you can. Digitally preserved and previously accessible only through libraries as Early English Books Online, this rare material is now available in single print editions. Thousands of books written between 1475 and 1700 can be delivered to your doorstep in individual volumes of high quality historical reproductions. From the beginning of recorded history we have looked to the heavens for inspiration and guidance. In these early religious documents, sermons, and pamphlets, we see the spiritual impact on the lives of both royalty and the commoner. We also get insights into a clergy that was growing ever more powerful as a political force. This is one of the world's largest collections of religious works of this type, revealing much about our interpretation of the modern church and spirituality.

[Daniel · Rating 4 out of 5]

I had never read anything by John Downame before this book. Despite his reverence for James Ussher, Downame was a higher Calvinist than the former. He rejected not only hypothetical universalism but also the well-meant offer and the sufficiency-efficiency distinction (the last of these opinions is an excess that contradicts the Canons of Dordt).
