My research focuses on the early history of liberal democracy in the English-speaking world, with particular focus on religion and politics. My most recent book is Reformation Without End: Religion, Politics and the Past in Post-Revolutionary England (2018). In addition to co-editing People Power: Popular Sovereignty from Machiavelli to Modernity (2022), Freedom of Speech, 1500–1850 (2020) and God in the Enlightenment (2016), I have published Religion, Reform and Modernity in the Eighteenth Century: Thomas Secker and the Church of England (2007). With Jeff Collins, Raffaella Santi, Shannon Stimson and Sam Zeitlin, I edit a new book series on intellectual history called Ideas and Practices, 1300–1850 (Boydell/Durham University IMEMS Press).
The two book projects on which I am now working are The World to Come: The Sacred and the Secular in England, 1660–1760, which examines the sacralisation of the modern state, and The Religion of the State: Sovereignty, Pluralism and Constitutionalism, 1890–1920, which focuses especially on the thought of Lord Acton’s literary executor and liberal political philosopher, J.N. Figgis (1866–1919). Stephen Taylor, Hannah Smith and I are also engaged in producing a scholarly edition of the memoirs and correspondence of the Whig politician John Lord Hervey (1696–1743) which will be published by Oxford University Press. With James Vaughn, I am also editing two books, one on Liberal Democracy and the Age of Revolution and the other on Capitalism: Histories.

Archbishop Thomas Secker [1693-1768], the Cranmer or Laud of his age, and the hitherto neglected church reforms he spearheaded, form the particular focus of the book; this is the first full archivally-based study of a crucial but frequently ignored figure.
