Preaching during the English Reformation
Preaching during the English Reformation
$49.00
USDThis study of the religious culture of sixteenth-century England is concerned with the competing forms of evangelism promoted by humanists of the Roman Catholic Church and emerging forms of Protestantism. The book shows how Protestant reformers adopted "preaching Christ" as their strategy to promote new doctrine, and explores shifts in political power toward Protestantism. It also offers new perspectives on fifteenth- and sixteenth-century figures such as John Rotheram, John Colet, Hugh Latimer, and Anne Boleyn.
- Makes a fundamental contribution to the history of the gradual 'changeover' from Catholicism to Protestantism in England
- Outlines the new roles for preachers and for lay men and women in the late fifteenth- and sixteenth-century England
- Offers new perspectives on subjects such as the 'Name of Jesus' and Anne Boleyn
