Oxford History of Anglicanism, Vol.1: Reformation, 1520-1662 (#14). Dr. ...
Chapter One with Dr. Anthony Milton is finished. A magnificent view from the mountain crest of 24 smaller, surrounding mountains crests (24 ensuing chapters).
However, does the final summary-paragraph of chapter one "overstate" the case of extensive heterogeneity, multiple concurrent reformations, seminal and embryonic movements (e.g. proto-Arminianism), infightings and competitions? Such, that makes reading the English Reformations nearwise impossible? Or, at best, difficult to characterize? Or, summarize? Our answer to that, preliminarily, is that Prof. Anthony "overstates" the case. We suspect that Dr. Patrick Collinson and Dr. MacCulloch may concur with our hesitancy. ??.
Nevertheless, Prof. Milton gives us the "lay of the land" for OHA 1. We have a map and panoramic view.
We note again, not one chapter on "Laudianism," nor the "Thirty-Nine Articles" nor the "Book of Common Prayer." While we're at it, nor Cranmer, Parker, Grindal, Whitgift nor Cambridge-Oxford 1520s-1662. What shall we say of these selective omissions? Hmmm.
