Excerpt from Cranmer: An Historical Study
It is time that a reaction should set in. And that a juster opinion of this great English Churchman should prevail. As a matter of fact. Cranmer was a man born, as it were, out of due time. He had to fill a very trying, and ofttimes a very thankless. Position, and even his detractors have reluctantly admitted that he played hi part to the best of his ability under circumstances of almost incredible dilfi culty. A man of studious, retiring, and academic habits, he was suddenly thrust out into the burly burly of the most strenuous, ecclesiastical-national life. He was forced to play a part that was entirely distasteful to his temperament. Cranmer never was. Never could have oeen, a great, big, bold, world defying man like Luther. He was not a daring and outspoken truth~champion like Knox. He was not of adamantine native strength, uncompromising in his dogmatic position, like Calvin. He was of less masterful and imperious mould. But manfully and earnestly, here a little and there a little, not with out occasional trips and falls, he did what he could in the times in which God placed him. With the material God had built him of.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the life and legacy of Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury during the tumultuous years of the English Reformation. Often misunderstood and maligned, Cranmer's journey from devout Catholic to ardent reformer is meticulously explored, shedding light on his pivotal role in shaping the Church of England. The author challenges prevailing historical narratives that depict Cranmer as a weak and vacillating figure, instead portraying him as a man of deep conviction and quiet courage. His commitment to scriptural authority, his gradual embrace of Protestant doctrines, and his crucial contributions to the Book of Common Prayer are examined in detail, revealing the profound impact he had on the religious landscape of England. This book offers a compelling reassessment of Cranmer's character and achievements, placing him at the heart of the English Reformation and illuminating his enduring influence on Anglicanism and the broader Protestant tradition.
