Description: "Thomas Cranmer, the first Protestant Archibishop of Canterbury, was not an original, prolific or argumentative theologian. He was, however, a man with an unparalleled genius for condensing lofty thought into clear confessional definitions and meaningful forms of worship. His expositions of Scripture were often plain, but always practical."--Book jacket.
