John
Jewel was the foremost literary defender of the Reformed Church of England and
its separation from the Catholic Church. This collection from the Parker
Society collects Jewel’s numerous and extensive works responding to various
critics, and defending the theological and political independence of the Church
of England. Volume 3 includes Jewel’s Apologia Ecclesiae Anglicanae, An
Apology or Answers in Defence of the Church of England, and A Defence of
the Apology of the Church of England.
John
Jewel
(1522–1571) was an English bishop who sought to solidify the beliefs of the
Church of England after the divisions caused by Henry VIII, Edward VI, and Mary
I. In his sermons, he challenged the Catholic Church to defend its beliefs out
of Scripture or the words of the Church Fathers. The ensuing debates led him to
publish Apology of the Church of England, which presented a precise
explanation of the stance of the Church of England against Catholicism and
established him as the foremost literary apologist of his time.
