Description: This concise but comprehensive study of the developing Reformation movement from 1529 to 1558 begins with a detailed study of the English Church in 1529 and ends with a survey of its state in 1558 and the problems facing Elizabeth I. As well as dealing with government policy and legislation, the outlook and motives of leading personalities, and doctrinal aspects of the Reformation, the author shows the impact of the movement on the rank and file of clergy and laity, and on the general life of the Church. The account on the structure and administration of the Church, illustrated with many fascinating examples taken from original sources, together with the clear and straightforward explanation of technical terms, both in the text and in the Glossary of Ecclesiastical Terms, will be found invaluable. - back of book.
