Publisher's Synopsis
""Anarchy of the Ranters and Other Libertines"" is a book written by Robert Barclay. The book is a philosophical and historical exploration of the ideas and practices of various groups of 17th-century English radicals, including the Ranters, the Levellers, and the Diggers. These groups rejected the authority of the Church and the State, and instead championed individual freedom and equality. Barclay examines their beliefs and actions, and argues that their ideas continue to have relevance today. The book is a scholarly work, drawing on a range of historical sources and offering a nuanced and detailed analysis of these radical movements. It is recommended for readers interested in the history of political thought, religious dissent, and anarchism.1676. The hierarchy of the Romanists and other pretended churches, equally refuted and refused, in a twofold apology for the church and people of God called in derision Quakers. Wherein they are vindicated from those that accuse them of disorder and confusion on the one hand, and from such as calumniate them with tyranny and imposition on the other, showing that as the true and pure principles of the gospel are restored by their testimony, so is also the ancient apostolic order of the Church of Christ reestablished among them and settled upon its right basis and foundation.
