The book aims to provide a detailed examination of the ecclesiastical events that took place during the English Civil Wars, particularly focusing on the interactions between the various religious factions such as the Anglicans and Puritans. Stoughton's work seeks to present a balanced narrative that captures the complexities and nuances of religious life amidst political turmoil during this significant period in English history. The opening of this volume introduces the context and events surrounding the Long Parliament, which convened on November 3, 1640. Notable figures such as the Earl Marshal and members of the clergy are presented as the stage is set for a clash between the established Church of England and the rising Puritan movement. Stoughton emphasizes the historical background of these factions and the importance of their conflict, revealing how issues of sovereignty and religious conformity contributed to the growing tension leading to civil war. He underscores the anticipation of upheaval in both church and state, hinting at the complex interplay of faith, power, and governance that characterized the era.
