Description: John Lightfoot's Journals of the Westminster Assembly by Chad Van Dixhoorn Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This edition brings together the four volumes of John Lightfoots journals, covering a period in the authors life when he was a member of the famous assembly of divines meeting in Westminster Abbey, supplementing the formal minutes with his own observations on religious debates, riots outside parliament, and complicated assembly dynamics. Publisher Description What has by convention been called John Lightfoots journal is in fact a four-volume series of journals, the first of which has never been published. The journals are presented here in their entirety for the first time. John Lightfoots journals cover a period in the authors life when he was a member of the famous assembly of divines meeting in Westminster Abbey. The Westminster assembly (1643-1653) was comprised of approximately thirtymembers of parliament and 120 ministers. By the outbreak of the war in England in 1642, a majority in the Long Parliament had come to see it as its duty to renovate the Church of England, both bringingit into line with a more biblical code and up to date with the best Reformed Churches. Lightfoots personal diary is of critical importance to assembly history because his meticulous little volumes supply the only account of the assemblys activities for sessions 1-44, and the only fulsome account for sessions 120-154, where the assemblys own minutes are missing. For the sessions where the assemblys minutes are extant, Lightfoot offers another set of eyes, oftensupplying additional information and a perspective differing from the assemblys own scribe. These sessions record the gatherings opening ceremonies, surprising fractious debates over the Thirty-nineArticles, and predictably heated conflicts between Episcopalians, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists over church governance. Lightfoot describes riots outside parliament, names meeting places for MPs and assembly members in London, and attempts to explain assembly dynamics in a way that The Minutes and Papers of the assembly do not. The four-volume journal ends abruptly after eighteen months, in December 1644.The body of this volume contains the full text ofLightfoots surviving journals, accompanied by interpretive introductions for each session and editorial notation throughout. The introduction sets in context the authors life prior to and during the Westminsterassembly and discusses the careful composition, potential audience, and checkered transmission of the journals.
