Zusammenfassung:"This book fills an important gap in the theological interpretation of the Laudian Divines. Iain MacKenzie presents the theology of the Anglican theologians of the early seventeenth century, exploring the concept of order first in God but then in creation in its relation to the Creator, and then examining the working out of this concept based in theology in civil and ecclesiastical structures and practice. Mapping the Laudian Divines' perceptions of how order primarily and necessarily resides in God existing as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, this book sets out the essential and necessarily practical application of theology as seen by seventeenth-century theologians, and traces the legacy which they have left. This theological, as opposed to a merely historical or literary, study of this important period for the development of society, will be of particular value to theologians, historians and those concerned with the intellectual history of the seventeenth century."--BOOK JACKET.
