<p>‘Ingram’s work is a brilliant engagement with the practice of history and theology, contextualizing them in the four ministers he anatomizes. In contrast to many other accounts of early modern religious debate, Ingram is a breath of fresh air.’<br />J.C. Parks, Lehigh University, <i>Left History</i><br /><br />'In this remarkable book, Robert G. Ingram immerses the reader in the heated religious controversies that fueled the print culture of 18th-century England. […] Through its sensitive and detailed analysis of the religious disputes of the polemical divines, Reformation without end therefore makes an important contribution to our understanding of the intellectual life of 18th-century England.'<br />Felicity Loughlin, University of St. Andrews, <i>Reading Religion</i>, July 2019<br /><br />'By locating eighteenth-century politico-theological disputes as part of the “long Reformation,” Ingram’s study breaks new ground in the field of ecclesiastical history. […] this study makes a fundamental contribution to our knowledge of polemical divinity in eighteenth-century England. Ingram is to be congratulated on writing such a stimulating and thought-provoking monograph. Not only does it enhance our understanding of the differing ways in which eighteenth-century divines interpreted the past, it also — and more importantly — shows that the past was always pertinent to theological controversies during this period.'<br />Simon Lewis, Trinity College, Dublin, <i>Journal of Religious History</i><br /><br />'Rich, sophisticated, finessed and fine-grained […] this is a highly successful book, and essential reading on the mental universe of eighteenth-century English divines.'<br />Mark Goldie, Churchill College, Cambridge, <i>Journal of Ecclesiastical History of books<br /><br />'</i>Ingram’s conclusion raises interesting and provocative questions and opens up new avenues for other scholars to explore further, especially extending to a trans-Atlantic context. The book should appeal to scholars of early modern England, religious historians, and political historians as well.'<br /><i>Journal of British Studies</i><br /><br />'This is a clever book with many strands in play: we are learning not just about views of key arguments chiefly drawn from the seventeenth century, but also about the nature of the “Enlightenment” of the eighteenth century. Ingram explores the way in which eighteenth-century Britain was “revolution-haunted”, for the debates were not only theological in nature, but also political in considering the causes and consequences of the British Civil Wars.'<br /><i>Taylor & Francis Online</i><br /><br />'This work is a remarkable achievement and an important contribution to intellectual, religious and political history. It will revolutionise our understanding of the eighteenth century and is a book that those working on the period will find indispensable.'<br /><i>English Historical Review</i><br /><br />'This is a clever book with many strands in play: we are learning not just about views of key arguments chiefly drawn from the seventeenth century, but also about the nature of the “Enlightenment” of the eighteenth century.'<br /><i>The Seventeenth Century</i><br /><br />'Ingram highlights a relevant feature of polemical dialogue: the tendency to punish, coerce, and stoop to caustic rhetoric. Observing this tendency throughout the chapters (along with Ingram’s primary thesis regarding the intersection of revelation, reason, and history) makes the work a significant contribution to the historiography of the period. But further, Ingram’s work carries valuable lessons for historians, theologians, and philosophers who traffic in ideas.'<br /><i>The Journal of Andrew Fuller Studies<br /><br />'</i>This is an important book that repays close attention: archivally resourceful, text based and urgently argued.'<br /><i>Journal of Religious History, Literature and Culture<br /></i><br />'Ingram's close analysis of the works of these now-forgotten divines brilliantly illuminates some of the shadowy features of eighteenth-century intellectual life.'<br />Victor Stater, <i>Anglican and Episcopal History</i></p>
