Enthusiasm, first published in 1950 by Ronald A. Knox, is the end product of thirty years of research and inspiration. In his perceptive and learned study Knox presents the personalities and religious philosophies of the various types of enthusiasts of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries: the monatists; donatists; anabaptists; Quakers; Jansenism; quietism; methodism; and other movements.
“For those who have been wishing they could get their hands on a different kind of Church history, Ronald Knox wrote one. Enthusiasm... [is] remarkably informative and helpful for those classical Protestants who want to reassert the objectivity of the covenant and the importance of the historical church.” —Credenda/Agenda
