Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the English Reformation, a complex series of events that stretched over a century and a half. It refrains from simply recounting incidents and instead seeks to unravel the underlying principles that emerged during the early 16th century. The author examines the Church of England before its Reformation, tracing its origins and transformations through the ages, particularly under the Norman Conquest and the reign of King John, who surrendered England to the Pope. Against this backdrop, the book explores the motivations and actions of key figures like Thomas Wolsey, Thomas Cromwell, Thomas Cranmer, Matthew Parker, Richard Bancroft, and William Laud. It sheds light on their personal struggles, their contributions, and the profound impact they had on shaping the Church of England's identity, doctrines, and relationship with the state. Ultimately, the book demonstrates how the English Reformation was not merely a break from the past but a multifaceted movement that sought to reform and redefine the English Church's place in society, leading to lasting consequences for the nation and its people.
