Review by Alec Ryrie Church historians have been engaged for some years now in a bout of terminological self-examination. At times this has felt a little wearying, as the language police keep coming for terms we had been using without any malicious intent (I used to think monophysite was a neutral, descriptive word). At times it has seemed self-indulgent, as if we would rather debate labels than do the hard work of actual research. But on the whole, this has been a thoroughly good thing.

James Anthony Froude was an unlikely candidate to defend British Protestantism among his nineteenth-century contemporaries.
