"This work is the first modern full-scale examination of the theology and life of
the distinguished English Calvinist clergyman Daniel Featley (1582-1645). It explores
Featley's career and thought through a comprehensive treatment of his two dozen published
works and manuscripts and situates these works within their original historical context.
A fascinating figure, Featley was the youngest translator of the Authorized Version,
a protégé of John Rainolds, a domestic chaplain for Archbishop George Abbot, and
a minister of two churches. As a result of his sympathies with royalism and episcopacy,
he endured two different attacks on his life. Despite these two attacks, Featley was
the only royalist episcopalian figure who accepted his invitation to the Westminster
Assembly. Nevertheless, three months into the Assembly, Featley was charged with being
a royalist spy, imprisoned by Parliament, and died shortly thereafter. While Featley
is a central focus of the work, this work is more than a biography. It uses Featley's
career to trace the fortunes of Calvinist conformists-those English Calvinists who
were committed to the established Church and represented the Church's majority position
between 1560 and the mid-1620s, before being marginalized by Laudians in the 1630s
and puritans in the 1640s. It demonstrates how Featley's convictions were representative
of the ideals and career of conformist Calvinism, explores the broader priorities
and political manoeuvres of English Calvinist conformists, and offers a more nuanced
perspective of the priorities and political manoeuvres of these figures and the politics
of religion in post-Reformation England"
