Oxford, UK: Pergamon Press, 1993. Comprehensive scholarly work presents a biography of James William Parkes, one of the pioneers in the field of Jewish-Christian relations and the study of antisemitism. This ordained Anglican priest made significant and controversial contributions as both historian and theologian, carefully documenting how Christianity from its earliest centuries to the present has continuously misunderstood the nature and history of Judaism, thus contributing to antisemitism in its many forms. Parkes also provided a useful model for helping Christians to deal honestly with Judaism and Jewish history and to shake off historical and theological misconceptions that may have prevented a clear understanding of the Bible and of Christian theological traditions. By placing these aspects of Parkes' work in context, Robert Everett shows that Parkes was not simply a "philo-semite", but rather a Modernist theologian who applied his Modernist theological critique of Christianity to… Read More

Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 1988. This scholarly study of left-wing puritan and separatist ecclesiology in Elizabethan and Jacobean England explores several major ecclesial motifs, including the relationship of soteriology, eschatology, and puritan covenant thought to ecclesiology; radical puritan and separatist ideals about the government of gathered churches; the role of synodical authority; and the relationship between church and state. Instead of looking at pre-revolutionary dissent in terms of two distinct ecclesiological categories of radical puritan `presbyterians' and separatist `congregationalists', the author underlines the shared ecclesiological ideals of both traditions. While recognizing that there were presbyterian as well as congregational tendencies within each of the two movements, he argues that they were by no means always clear, nor denominationally fixed. It was an ecclesiology still in its infancy, largely untested by the moulding of long-standing, unhindered… Read More
