A Protestant Vision demands to be read, even if one is not specifically interested in Harrision or in the progress of the English Reformation after John Bale. … A Protestant Vision is a fine work that makes important contributions to intellectual, religious and political history. Indeed, its singluar achievement is to link these often disparate subjects together making it impossible to study the Reformation in isolation form early modern science or any debates on early modern political formations.'

The book explains how the mentality of Harrison, a university-trained Protestant, reveals a coherent worldview based upon a particular view of history which he applied to many areas of contemporary concern: the complete reformation of the church, the improvement of society, the removal of economic injustice, the reorientation of practical life and the restraint of the dangerous speculation current in natural philosophy. Dr Parry draws upon a unique and previously unknown manuscript source, Harrison's interpretation of world history, which provides unusually detailed information about how one individual interpreted the world.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e Part I.
