Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed and unbiased analysis of the historical events, motivations, and key figures of the English Reformation. It compares the processes of conversion to Christianity in England, beginning with the Romans, the missionaries sent by Pope Gregory the Great, and Henry VIII's establishment of the Church of England. The author provides a valuable comparison between the motives and methods of each of these major shifts in English religious history. The author contends that England's Reformation was driven by political motives and dynastic ambitions rather than the theological concerns that motivated the earlier conversion to Christianity.
