Atheists generated widespread anxieties between the Reformation and the Enlightenment. In response to such anxieties a distinct genre of religious apologetics emerged in England between 1580 and 1720. By examining the form and the content of the confutation of atheism, Anti-Atheism in Early Modern England demonstrates the prevalence of patterned assumptions and arguments about who an atheist was and what an atheist was supposed to believe, outlines and analyzes the major arguments against atheists, and traces the important changes and challenges to this apologetic discourse in the early Enlightenment.

“This enormously valuable addition to the historiography of religious and moral thought is packed with sources and conclusions of significance far beyond England.”Ada Palmer, University of Chicago. In: Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. 70, No. 2 (Summer 2017), pp. 780-782.“The volume is elegantly written and immaculately edited … and may serve as an excellent avenue into a new kind of theologically aware historical “thick description” of the complex discursive fields of early modernity”. Philipp Reisner, Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. In: Sixteenth Century Journal, Vol. 48, No 1 (Spring 2017), pp. 192-193.
