Overview
Some
dismiss the English Reformation as wholly motivated by a monarch’s marital
affairs. But this vision fails to account for the strong theological
undercurrent that sustained the movement before, during, and long after Henry
VIII’s death. Theologians writing in these fierce times left behind writings of
fiery expression, reflecting the harsh situations many faced. Exile,
imprisonment, and death lay at the end of a conviction for heresy—the bounds of
which changed with each new king or queen.
Three
hundred years later, low church evangelicals and high church Anglo-Catholics
dueled to define the place of early English Protestant thought in
nineteenth-century Anglican theology. The evangelical Parker Society devoted
itself to demonstrating how evangelical and Reformed theology shaped the early
Church of England. Responding to the Oxford Movement’s Tracts
for the Times, the Parker Society published the volumes in this
collection. These resources gather the writings of early English Reformers,
forming “a combined testimony to the power and value of the blessed
Reformation.”
Among
these writings are the works of Thomas
Cranmer, whose thought was a predominant force in composing the 39
Articles, the Book
of Common Prayer, and the Book
of Homilies. John Hooper’s earnest writings reflect his
uncompromising work and commitment to Reformed theology that ultimately led him
to be burnt at the stake under Mary I. William Fulke’s spirited defense of the
Bible in the people’s tongue and the manipulations of the Catholic Church
reveal the virulent edges of the Puritan movement. These and other works from, John
Jewel, Thomas Cooper, John Philpot, James Pilkington, and many more
make this collection a trove of resources on “the spirit and principles of the
Reformation in their various forms of development.”

Though
little is known of Thomas Becon’s personal life, he was held in high esteem by
his peers, and he was made Thomas
Cranmer’s household chaplain. The Parker Society’s collection of his
early writings, written during Henry VIII’s tumultuous reign, reflect a milder
Becon. John Ayre provides a biographical sketch of Becon, and compiles 10
treatises from the Reformer.
Thomas
Becon
(1511–1567) was an English Protestant Reformer, and close ally of Thomas
Cranmer. He was arrested for his Protestant teaching in 1540, but restored to
the Church of England as chaplain to Edward Seymour after Henry VIII’s death.
Thomas Cranmer made him one of the Six Preachers of Canterbury. He was exiled
under the reign of Mary, fleeing to Frankfurt. He returned to England upon
Elizabeth’s succession as canon of the Canterbury Cathedral.

Thomas
Becon, an influential English theologian who was Thomas
Cranmer’s own household chaplain, composed this catechism after his
release from prison after the death of Henry VIII. This volume, compiled by the
Parker Society, demonstrates the evangelical undercurrents of the English
Reformation. It also includes other of Becon’s works from Edward VI’s reign,
including The Jewel of Joy, The Castle of Comfort, and The
Solace of the Soul.

volume of prayers and poetry from Thomas Becon, a household chaplain of Thomas
Cranmer and influential preacher, features the preacher’s later,
more radical works. Compiled by the evangelical Parker Society, this volume
delves into early Anglican thought on communion, the authority of Scripture,
and the work of Christ, especially as opposed to Catholic theology.

James
Calfhill’s major work, this volume responds to John Martiall’s defense of the
crucifix—dedicated to Elizabeth I and her keeping of a crucifix. Calfhill
decries the use of images of Christ in worship. His passionate treatise draws
on the writings of the Church Fathers and reflects the strong Reformed currents
that ran through the English Reformation.
James
Calfhill
(1530–1570) was dean of Bocking, archdeacon of Colchester, and bishop-elect of
Worcester. A staunch Calvinist, Calfhill frequently decried the “papistical
yoke” laid on the Church of England, and defended the doctrines of the
Reformation.

Thomas
Cooper was a stout defender of the Church of England as distinct from the
Catholic Church. This volume, in which Cooper answers a Catholic defense of
private mass directed against John
Jewel, is characteristic of Cooper’s distaste for Rome. Compiled by
the evangelical Parker Society, this volume also includes the original apology
Cooper answers.
Thomas
Cooper
(1517–1594) was bishop of Lincoln and later bishop of Winchester. Cooper’s
influential Thesaurus Linguae Romanae et Britannicae is believed to have
been used by Shakespeare
in the composition of many of his plays and poems.

Thomas
Cranmer was perhaps the most important theological figure in the
reformation of the English Church. His theological fingerprints are found
everywhere in the 39
Articles and the Book
of Common Prayer. This collection of his works, compiled by the
evangelical Parker Society, compiles Cranmer’s contentious writings on the
Lord’s Supper—a point of particular conflict between Rome and England. It is
representative of the theological undercurrents that drove the English
Reformation forward.
Thomas
Cranmer
(1489–1556) was the archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of English kings
Henry VIII and Edward VI. During his time as archbishop, Cranmer, along with Thomas
Cromwell, championed the translation of the Bible into English. In
1548, plans for a complete liturgy for the English Church began. Cranmer
compiled the Book of Common Prayer, which was published in 1549. After Mary I
took the throne, Cranmer was tried for treason and heresy. He was imprisoned
for two years and martyred in 1556 in Oxford. Cranmer wrote many important
articles and letters, which—along with a few biographies on the life and
influence of Cranmer—appear in the Thomas
Cranmer Collection.

One
of the most significant and divisive issues in the English Reformation was
Bible translation. This volume from the Parker Society presents Puritan
minister William Fulke’s defense of an English Bible. Fulke rails against
Catholic priest Gregory Martin’s attacks on English translations as dangerous
and unreliable, advocating for the widespread distribution of a Bible in the
people’s tongue. The volume includes a biographical sketch of the spirited
Fulke, and is indicative of the groundswell of Reformed theology that carried
the Church of England away from Rome.
William
Fulke
(1538–1589) was an English Puritan divine, and a leading figure in the
vestments controversy over English church identity.

This
volume compiles three works by Puritan divine William Fulke. In Stapleton’s
Fortress Overthrown, Fulke rails against the Catholic faith and its
presence in England. In A Rejoinder, William Fulke joins James Calfhill
in attacking John Martiall’s Treatise of the Cross, as Fulke decries the
use of images of Christ in the crucifix. And lastly, A Discovery addresses
the writings of English Catholic Nicholas Sanders, and criticizes the origin of
the Catholic Church and its authority.
Fulke’s
spirited writings represent some of the most colorful and radical writings of
the English Reformation, shedding light on the evangelical fringes of the
Reformation in England.

Edmund
Grindal, archbishop of Canterbury under Elizabeth I from 1576–1583, was called
by John
Milton “a grave and pious man,” compared to the pretension of other
Elizabethan bishops. He was admired by his fellow Puritans and attacked by high
churchmen in later centuries. This collection gathers works from throughout the
affable bishop’s career, including sermons, letters, and several official
documents that shed light on the ever-shifting religious climate in England.
Edmund
Grindal
(1519–1583) was bishop of London, archbishop of York, and finally archbishop of
Canterbury during Elizabeth I’s reign, though he very well may never have
actually visited Canterbury.

John
Hooper was an uncompromising Reformed figure in the English Reformation,
eventually martyred under the reign of Mary in 1555. This volume contains many
of his early writings, including sermons and official declarations. They
highlight his work in reforming Parish ministry in his diocese, holding
ministers accountable for biblical literacy and teaching.
John
Hooper
(ca. 1495–1555) was bishop of Gloucester and Worcester. He was influential in
the vestments controversy, only relenting from his critical view of the new
Ordinal after weeks of imprisonment. He observed a vow of poverty, resigning
the profits of his see to the crown, and was a strong proponent of social
justice. Hooper also endeavored to spread Calvinist theology across England,
and was burnt at the stake upon the reinstatement of heresy acts under Mary I.
His writings greatly influenced the Puritans that would follow him in the reign
of Elizabeth.

theological undercurrent of the English Reformation. This collection, compiled
by the evangelical Anglican group the Parker Society, presents his layman’s
work The Image of God, and five of his sermons. The Image of God
considers how we are to think of God and where we are to draw information from
him, advocating the personal reading of Scripture. His sermons deal with the
Lord’s Supper and patience during oppression.
