Reviews
What Oates has produced is a book that illuminates a vibrant model of godly episcopacy in the North of England, as well as demonstrating convincingly that the seeds of the Jacobean Church's eventual destruction lay in the very forces that had initially held it together. * JONATHAN WILLIS, University of Birmingham, Europe: Early Modern and Modern *
This is an excellent book that integrates Matthew's story with the political events around which his career required him to manoeuvre. * MARY MORRISSEY, University of Reading, The Journal of Theological Studies *
Moderate Radical is a splendid study and one which greatly advances our understanding of the politico-religious developments of the period. * NCHOLAS TYACKE, University College London, History *
This is an ambitous and welcome book on aspects of the life of Tobie Matthew * Andrew Foster, The Seventeenth Century *
This splendid study will enhance appreciation of Matthew as a "moderate radical." * CHOICE *
An important book which greatly enhances our understanding of the pastoral and theological priorities of a key figure in the Elizabethan and Jacobean Church. * William Sheils, Journal of Ecclesiastical History *
