| Summary: | James Ussher was one of the most important religious figures of the seventeenth-century British Isles. One of the few British theologians of this period to enjoy a major European reputation, as well as being engaged (albeit awkwardly) with the tumultuous political events of the period, Ussher yet managed to retain the respect of both Charles I and Oliver Cromwell. The problem for historians has always been that, while a colossal corpus of sources relating to Ussher remains—the seventeen-volume nineteenth-century edition of Ussher’s works left out a great deal, not least from his seven enormous surviving notebooks—they tell us infuriatingly little about his personal role in the religious politics of the age. |
