Cranmer And The English Reformation by Francis Ernest Hutchinson

"This book provides an introduction to the English Reformation through the person of Archbishop Cranmer, a central and representative figure. It is possible that his part in the political decisions of that revolutionary time has been exaggerated, but his contribution to the religious tradition of the English people has been permanent and profound, in the leading part he took in making the Bible available to the people and in providing them with an English Prayer Book. His was a very English nature, appealing and sympathetic, with a religious sense akin to poetry which expressed itself in the moving cadences of his prose. Dr. Hutchinson tells his story with learning and interpretative sympathy, and shows how Cranmer's work has continued a living tradition in English Church life. "--Jacket.
