Book Description
Excerpt from Illustrations of Popery: The "Mystery of Iniquity" Unveiled: In Its "Damnable Heresies, Lying Wonders, and Strong Delusion," With the Sanguinary Persecutions of the "Woman Drunken With the Blood of the Saints" A asvraw of God's dealings with mankind, in his providential government of the world, when conducted by the light of the holy Scriptures, and in an humble and devotional spirit, cannot fail to instruct the mind and meliorate the heart. But as the various generations of the human family are indissolubly conjoined in their identity of nature, the similarity of their moral and religious duties, and their destiny to an eternal state of existence, it is equally requisite to search the page of prophecy, as the volume ot history. To the performance of this momentous duty, the Prince of the kings of the earth, has annexed his special benediction at the commencement of the Apocalypse; which was revealed ex pressly to demonstrate the certainty of the Divine Oracles, by pre ngaring the annals of the Christian Church, until the glorious millennial era shall enrapture the sons of Adam. Blessed is he who readeth, and they who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein. A faithful narrative of the changes through which the visible Christian Church has passed, forms the most appropriate accompaniment for the Bible of truth, and the only sure guide to all other historical annals.

Book Description
The part religion played in questions of national identity in early modern England is a familiar historical theme, yet little work has been done on how this worked culturally. Nowhere is this more visible than in the seeming contradiction of a militantly Protestant nation such as England, that had a high regard for Catholic art. It is this dichotomy, the tensions between art and anti-Catholicism, that forms the central investigation of this book. During the late seventeenth and eighteenth century, religious art was closely identified with idolatry, and the use of images was one of the most obvious markers of the boundary between Protestantism and Catholicism. This manifested itself in an unease about the status of the religious image in English society, which was articulated in religious tracts, anti-Catholic propaganda, polemical debate, court cases and numerous other places. In light of these attacks upon 'idolatry', the fact that a great deal of Catholic art was so highly regarded and sought after seems puzzling. By discussing English attitudes towards the works of Italian painters (including Raphael, Michelangelo and Domenichino) and the ways in which native artists sought appropriately Protestant ways of emulating them, this volume offers a fascinating perspective on the dichotomy that existed between English appreciation and disapproval of Catholic culture. By taking this cultural and artistic approach and applying it to the broader historical themes, a new and invigorating way of understanding religion and national identity is offered.

Against Popery

Book Description
Although commonly regarded as a prejudice against Roman Catholics and their religion, anti-popery is both more complex and far more historically significant than this common conception would suggest. As the essays collected in this volume demonstrate, anti-popery is a powerful lens through which to interpret the culture and politics of the British-American world. In early modern England, opposition to tyranny and corruption associated with the papacy could spark violent conflicts not only between Protestants and Catholics but among Protestants themselves. Yet anti-popery had a capacity for inclusion as well and contributed to the growth and stability of the first British Empire. Combining the religious and political concerns of the Protestant Empire into a powerful (if occasionally unpredictable) ideology, anti-popery affords an effective framework for analyzing and explaining Anglo-American politics, especially since it figured prominently in the American Revolution as well as others. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, written by scholars from both sides of the Atlantic working in history, literature, art history, and political science, the essays in Against Popery cover three centuries of English, Scottish, Irish, early American, and imperial history between the early sixteenth and early nineteenth centuries. More comprehensive, inclusive, and far-reaching than earlier studies, this volume represents a major turning point, summing up earlier work and laying a broad foundation for future scholarship across disciplinary lines.
