A fresh, evidence-based look at a controversial bishop and the era that shaped English religion. A historical work that examines Edmund Bonner, his conduct as a bishop, and the heated debates that surrounded reform, resistance, and reconciliation in Tudor and early Stuart England. This edition presents the arguments and context used by contemporaries and later critics alike, helping readers understand how religious power, politics, and personal conviction interacted in a pivotal period.
From Bonner’s role in Marian policy to his clashes with Ultraprotestants, the volume traces how ideas about scripture, tradition, and church authority were contested. It also shows how later commentators, including those associated with Tractarian thought, viewed Bonner’s actions and aims. The result is a nuanced portrait that invites readers to weigh provocative claims against the historical record.
Ideal for readers of historical biography, church history, and studies of Reformation-era debates about authority, tradition, and reform.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Edmund Bonner, the vehemently anti-Protestant Bishop of London, is the focus of this volume penned by a self-proclaimed Tractarian British Critic. The author's goal is not to prove Bonner a saint, but rather to demonstrate the logic of Bonner's religious beliefs and the methods he used in a failed effort to stem the tide of Protestantism that swept England in the 16th century. The author succeeds in painting a complex portrait of Bonner as a learned, faithful servant to both the Catholic Church and to the Tudor monarchy, defending the authority and practices of the former against what he saw as the heretical innovations of the latter. The author draws numerous parallels between the challenges faced by the Catholic Church in the mid-16th century with the perceived threats to the Church of England in the present day. This book will be of interest to anyone studying the English Reformation, the life of Edmund Bonner, or the Tractarian movement within the contemporary Church of England.
