About Church Life: Pastors, Congregations, and the Experience of Dissent in Seventeenth-Century England

Church Life: Pastors, Congregations, and the Experience of Dissent in Seventeenth-Century England addresses the rich, complex, and varied nature of "church life" experienced by England's Baptists, Congregationalists, and Presbyterians during the seventeenth century. Spanning the period fromthe English Revolution to the Glorious Revolution, and beyond, the contributors examine the social, political, and religious character of England's "gathered" churches and reformed parishes: how pastors and their congregations interacted; how Dissenters related to their meetings as religiouscommunities; and what the experience of church life was like for ordinary members as well as their ministers, including notably John Owen and Richard Baxter alongside less well-known figures, such as Ebenezer Chandler.Moving beyond the religious experience of the solitary individual, often exemplified by conversion, Church Life redefines the experience of Dissent, concentrating instead on the collective concerns of a communally-centred church life through a wide spectrum of issues: from questions of liberty andpastoral reform to matters of church discipline and respectability. With a substantial introduction that puts into context the key concepts of "church life" and the "Dissenting experience", the contributors offer fresh ways of understanding Protestant Dissent in seventeenth-century England: throughdifferences in ecclesiology and pastoral theory, and via the buildings in which Dissent was nurtured to the building-up of Dissent during periods of civil war, persecution, and revolution. They draw on a broad range of printed and archival materials: from the minutes of the Westminster Assembly tothe manuscript church books of early Dissenting congregations.
