A Protestant Purgatory: Theological Origins of the Penitentiary Act, 1779
Laurie Throness
The Penitentiary Act of 1779 marks the beginning of a significant shift in attitudes in Britain towards the punishment of criminals. This book examines the role of protestant theology on the penal system of 18th century England, emphasizing that this change had as much to do with evangelical theology as it did notions of enlightenment thinking.
