by Firth, Catharine B.
Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1979. Octavo. 281 pages, index. A careful study of the recurring chiliastic themes that still appear among some of the older evangelicals today. From John Bale, John Knox and John Foxe she shows the small but insistent strain of various millennial interpretations. As the Thirty Years War upset the dreams of the fringes of Protestantism, there was a migration into England of the religious counter-culture whose dream of literal hermeneutics of Daniel and Revelation was dominant in their thinking. A fine copy bound in red cloth, spine lettering gilt.
