Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of Major-General Thomas Harrison, a key figure in the English Civil War and a fervent advocate for radical religious reform. Harrison's life and career provide a unique window into the complex and often turbulent landscape of 17th-century England. The author…delves into Harrison's early years, his rise through the ranks of the Parliamentary army, and his role in pivotal battles like Marston Moor. The book explores the growing influence of Independent and Anabaptist factions within the Parliamentarian army, contrasting their beliefs with the more established Presbyterian doctrines. A central theme is Harrison's commitment to a "Fifth Monarchy," a vision of a divinely-ruled kingdom on earth, where only the "saints" would govern. The author also examines the political and military complexities of the era, highlighting the clashes between religious factions and the struggle for power between Parliament and the monarchy. The book reveals the deep religious convictions that fueled the Civil War and the conflicting aspirations of those who sought to reshape English society. Ultimately, Harrison's tragic end, executed as a regicide after the Restoration, serves as a powerful reminder of the fervor and uncompromising convictions that characterized the period.
