The Political Activities Of The Baptists And Fifth Monarchy Men In England During The Interregnum (1911)

The book ""The Political Activities of the Baptists and Fifth Monarchy Men in England during the Interregnum"" by Louise Fargo Brown was published in 1911. It is a comprehensive study of the political activities of two religious groups - the Baptists and the Fifth Monarchy Men - during the period of the Interregnum in England.The Interregnum was the period between the execution of King Charles I in 1649 and the restoration of the monarchy with the coronation of King Charles II in 1660. During this time, England was ruled by a republican government led by Oliver Cromwell and his supporters.The book explores the political beliefs and actions of the Baptists and the Fifth Monarchy Men, two groups that played a significant role in the political landscape of the Interregnum. The Baptists were a Protestant denomination that believed in the separation of church and state, while the Fifth Monarchy Men were a radical religious group that believed in the imminent return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of a theocratic government.The author examines the ways in which these groups influenced the political discourse of the time, including their involvement in the Leveller movement and their support for Cromwell's government. She also looks at the ways in which their political activities were influenced by their religious beliefs, and how they used their religious convictions to justify their political actions.Overall, ""The Political Activities of the Baptists and Fifth Monarchy Men in England during the Interregnum"" provides a detailed and insightful analysis of the role that religious groups played in shaping the political landscape of England during a pivotal period in its history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
