''The Act of Uniformity: A Measure of Liberation'' is a historical analysis of the Act of Uniformity, a law passed in 1662 in England that required all clergy to use the Book of Common Prayer in their services. The author, Thomas Hancock, argues that this law was not a repressive measure, as it is often portrayed, but rather a necessary step in the liberation of the Church of England from the influence of the Puritans. Hancock provides a detailed account of the political and religious context in which the Act of Uniformity was passed, and explores the different interpretations of the law that have emerged over time. He also examines the impact of the law on the Church of England and on English society as a whole, and argues that it played a key role in shaping the country’s religious and cultural identity. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the Church of England and the role of religion in English society.''This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
