While I have your attention: Any books on the church state duality? As an American with modern freedom of religion, the question of belief is very different than it was at that time. For instance, while belief was deeply personal and spiritual it was also extremely political. I'm not necessarily asking for a discourse here on that, but maybe a reference to firm up my thinking about how it was viewed at the time.
- etrevino 6y agoIt's another Cromwell bio, but I think I found a book that could answer your questions on church-state relationships: God's Englishman: Oliver Cromwell and the English Revolution, by Christopher Hill. I can't remember any exact books on this, though it was basically the theme undergirding pretty much all of the politics of the time. Sorry I don't have more. It's been awhile!
