Ranters| English religious sect; one of the many groups that arose during the English Civil War. The Ranters pressed for radical reforms during the Commonwealth period (1649–60). Known for their ecstatic shoutings during services, they rejected much of mainstream Christianity, relying instead upon inner experience for vindication of their teachings. They were regarded as licentious. |
