Its main protagonists are a London clergyman, Stephen Denison, and a lay sectmaster and prophet, John Etherington. The dispute between the two men blew up in the mid-1620s, but its reverberations can be traced back to the 1590s and continued to 1640. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough Denison the book analyses the tensions and contradictions within the 'religion of protestants' that dominated great swathes of the early Stuart church. Through Etherington, it eavesdrops on a London puritan underground that has remained largely hidden from view and which, while it was related to, indeed, parasitic upon, was not coterminous with, the order and orthodoxy-centred puritanism of Stephen Denison. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBy placing the Denison\/Etherington dispute in its multiple contexts, the book becomes a study of puritan theology and intra-puritan theological dispute; of lay clerical relations and of the politics of the parish; and thus of the social history of parish and puritan religion in London.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Manchester University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892332183703,"sku":"9780719080500","price":2857.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780719080500.webp?v=1781186504","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-boxmakers-revenge-orthodoxy-heterodoxy-and-the-politics-of-the-parish-in-early-stuart-london-9780719080500","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
