The Pillars of Priestcraft Shaken - The Church of England and its Enemies, 1660–1730 - J. A. I. Champion - Paperback Bog - Cambridge University Press

Description

First published in 1992, this book examines the intellectual confrontation between priest and Freethinker from 1660 to 1730, and the origins of the early phase of the Enlightenment in England. Through an analysis of the practice of historical writing in the period, Champion maintains that historical argument was a central component for displaying defences of true religion.
