Set against the backdrop of 17th-century England, the narrative explores the intense conflict between Stephen Denison, a London clergyman, and John Etherington, a lay sectmaster and prophet. Their dispute, which escalated in the mid-1620s, is rooted in tensions that date back to the 1590s and persisted until 1640. The book delves into themes of faith, authority, and the complexities of religious dissent during a turbulent period in history.
