Godfrey Anstruther was an influential figure in the realm of religious scholarship, particularly known for his contributions to the understanding of the secular clergy in England and Wales during the early modern period. His seminal work, "Seminary Priests: 1660-1715" along with the extensive "Dictionary of the Secular Clergy of England and Wales, 1558-1850," provides invaluable insights into the lives and struggles of clergy during a time of significant religious upheaval. Anstruther's meticulous research and dedication to documenting this history have made his works essential resources for scholars and historians alike.

As a historian, Anstruther's approach combined rigorous academic inquiry with a deep understanding of the socio-political context of his subjects. His scholarship not only highlights the theological aspects but also the human experiences of those involved. By shedding light on figures such as Thomas Aquinas and their lasting influence on the clergy, Anstruther has helped to bridge gaps in knowledge about this critical period in religious history. His legacy continues to inspire new generations of scholars in the field of religious studies.
