Summary: "Ecclesiastical History of England, Volume 3—The Church of the Restoration" by John Stoughton is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume focuses on the period surrounding the Restoration of the Church of England after the tumultuous rule of Oliver Cromwell and the Commonwealth. It examines the political, ecclesiastical, and social dynamics of the time, detailing the establishment of the Episcopal Church and the complex interactions among differing religious factions. The opening of the work sets the stage by outlining the historical context following Cromwell's death and the ensuing political instability. It introduces Richard Cromwell’s unexpected rise to power as he attempts to manage the legacy of his father while navigating the deeply divided religious and political landscape of England. The text presents a rich tapestry of dissenting voices—Presbyterians, Independents, and Episcopalians—each vying for influence as the call for the Restoration of Charles II grows louder amidst the backdrop of civil unrest and social turmoil. The narrative hints at the complexities and conflicts that will unfold as these tensions come to a head, laying a foundation for an in-depth exploration of the establishment of the Church and the state of religious liberties during this pivotal period.
