Patrick Collinson Series

Patrick Collinson was a distinguished historian of the early modern period whose work profoundly shaped the understanding of the English Reformation. Through his seminal scholarship, he demonstrated that Puritanism was a significant force within the Elizabethan Church, rather than merely a radical fringe group. His research laid the groundwork for what is now termed the 'Calvinist Consensus' in English Reformation studies. Collinson's approach challenged prevailing views on the religious radicalism of Puritanism within British culture.
