A significant contribution to the history of English Christianity, this 1850s work draws on historical documents to explore the shifts in the Church of England's position and belief brought about by the reign of Henry VIII. The author, a minister of the church, posits that the church's current position is directly related to the power struggles of the Tudor era, when the crown and the church established the supremacy of the monarch over religious affairs. Arguing that the crown's supremacy has had a lasting impact on the church's structure, doctrine, and practice, the author provides a thorough investigation of the legal and doctrinal documents that shaped the modern Church of England, shedding new light on the complex relationship between ecclesiastical and civil power in English history.
