商品簡介
This small volume gives an overview of the subject, its major issues and events, and provides a thought-provoking, broad conclusion that considers the developments after 1689 that eventually led to full religious liberty and civil equality. Coffey (history, U. of Leicester, UK) begins the book with a detailed consideration of the arguments both for and against toleration, gleaned in large part from his study of the wealth of pamphlets published at the time before turning to the complex history of religious groups in conflict and the informing political context.
