Abstract

The ejection of many of the Puritans from the Church of England in 1662 was not the end of the story for Puritanism, for Reformed theology, or for the gospel in the established church. This article looks at a common tendentious reading of church history and by examining the lives and teachings of three significant Anglicans in the later Stuart period— Edward Reynolds, William Gurnall, and Thomas Horton—shows that it results in a skewed perception of the evidence, leading to an under-appreciation of the ministries of such people and a false understanding of the ecclesiastical challenges of those times. KEYWORDS: Restoration, Reformed theology, Calvinism, Arminianism, Anglicanism, predestination, perseverance, original sin, atonement
