Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines a central controversy surrounding Archbishop Thomas Cranmer. Specifically, the author challenges a claim, made by Cardinal Pole, that Cranmer was pressured into accepting the position of Archbishop through an illicit agreement with King Henry VIII. This accusation was part of a broader campaign of slander by Pole against Cranmer, a leading figure in England's Reformation. The author counters the claim that Cranmer's acceptance of the position was insincere by presenting the truth of the matter, informed by Cranmer's own writings and public statements and by the historical context of the time. The author presents a rich analytical perspective on the nature of morality in this context and appeals to the reader to judge for themselves who was truly insincere. Ultimately, this in-depth examination of the motivations of two of England's most influential religious figures provides unique insights into the complex religious and political landscape of the time.
