The Life and Defence of the Conduct and Principles of the Venerable and Calumniated Edmund Bonner: Bishop of London, in the Reigns of Henry VIII., Edward Vi;, Mary, and Elizabeth; In Which Is Consider - Hardcover
Synopsis
A fresh, evidence-based look at a controversial bishop and the era that shaped English religion.
A historical work that examines Edmund Bonner, his conduct as a bishop, and the heated debates that surrounded reform, resistance, and reconciliation in Tudor and early Stuart England. This edition presents the arguments and context used by contemporaries and later critics alike, helping readers understand how religious power, politics, and personal conviction interacted in a pivotal period.
From Bonner’s role in Marian policy to his clashes with Ultraprotestants, the volume traces how ideas about scripture, tradition, and church authority were contested. It also shows how later commentators, including those associated with Tractarian thought, viewed Bonner’s actions and aims. The result is a nuanced portrait that invites readers to weigh provocative claims against the historical record.
- Explore Bonner’s episcopal career, his enforcement of church policy, and his treatment of opponents.
- See how debates over scripture, tradition, and the sacraments shaped public and ecclesiastical life.
- Compare contemporary and later interpretations of the Marian and post‑Reformation periods.
- Encounter historical anecdotes and critical voices that illuminate the era’s religious tensions.
Ideal for readers of historical biography, church history, and studies of Reformation-era debates about authority, tradition, and reform.
