My article 'John Owen and the Plotters' with JEH @CambridgeUP is available today with open access. Elections, spies, plots, sermons, and more. Did the puritan pastor want the royal brothers killed? cambridge.org/core/journals/…

If you’re interested in the political side of this work, I have an article coming out soon w JEH @CambridgeUP : β€˜John Owen and the Plotters’ In the article I look at Owen’s connections to conspiratorial networks during the Exclusion Crisis & argue that he was more involved and that his willingness to contemplate active resistance developed earlier than has generally been recognized. The article isn’t an exhaustive account of the evidence for Owen’s involvement in plotting, particularly in the period leading to the Rye House Plot. Rather, I’ve tried to frame it as the prehistory to that larger story. It represents part of that trajectory through 1679–81. The fuller case for Owen’s proximity to & involvement in the conspiratorial politics culminating in Rye House & beyond is for later. It's open access, so I’ll post it here when it’s out.

If you are at all interested in JN Darby, there’s no better guide than Max …
Since the link to extracts from my "Becoming J.N.D. The Early Years of John Nelson Darby" on various subjects (e.g. his conversion) at academia.edu was too general this might, e.g., help as a start: academia.edu/169482023/John_…
