Quick student answer
Which of the following best describes the religious policy of Archbishop William Laud during the period of 1629-1640?
Direct answer
Laud's policies were characterized by a strong support for Arminianism, which emphasized the role of free will in salvation and sought to reform the Church of England's practices.
Key terms
- Puritanism: A religious reform movement within the Church of England that sought to purify the church of Catholic practices and promote a more austere form of worship.
- Arminianism: A theological perspective that emphasizes human free will and the possibility of salvation for all, contrasting with Calvinist predestination.
Common trap
Confusing Arminianism with Puritanism: Remember that Arminianism supports a more ceremonial and hierarchical church structure, while Puritanism advocates for a simpler, more direct form of worship.
