Protestantism and the National Church in Sixteenth Century England

Omtale

What did it feel like to be a Protestant in Tudor England? What did Protestants think of the role of a ‘church under the cross’ should be? How did they become the proponents of a national church?First published in 1987, Protestantism and the National Church in Sixteenth Century England aims to restore a sense of the clash of ideas which produced the political developments of the sixteenth century in church history. The essays, linked in theme, address the analytical problem of answering the questions posed and provide a discussion of a subject on which no serious work had been published at the time.
