Synopsis

Exploring a pivotal voice of the English Reformation and its debates on faith and practice.

This edited collection presents the writings and examination records surrounding Nicholas Ridley, a key figure in 16th‑century Anglican history, offering readers direct access to his arguments, questions, and how they were contested in formal settings.

The book frames Ridley’s discussions in the context of a turbulent era, where sacramental theology and church authority were hotly debated. You’ll see how his reasoning confronted critiques, how the trials were conducted, and how those conversations shaped later religious thought. It’s a window into the process of doctrinal conflict and the voices that shaped early Anglican identity.

• Read Ridley’s own answers and the questions that provoked them in live exam settings.
• Follow the sequence of arguments on the nature of the sacraments, faith, and church authority.
• See how discussions were recorded, debated, and interpreted by contemporaries.
• Gain historical insight into the procedures of church commissions and scholarly disputations.

Ideal for readers of religious history, constitutional theology, and scholars of the English Reformation who want a close look at primary voices and the debate over faith in a changing church landscape.
