Synopsis

Today, especially for many of those of an English speaking Christian heritage, religion is not central to life. So the reformation period is often considered remote. What possible relevance could it have to the modern world? The point is that English society and the English Church is the way it is because of the changes brought about under the Tudors. This means that to understand 'modern England', especially a post-Brexit England, and to plots its future, we need to determine where England is now. The only way to determine where England is now, is to see how England got to this place in history. This period set the foundations of the country that England has become and hints at the motivations of those who proposed Brexit. That is why this period is so important. This book explains: - Why we need to study the Tudor Reformation. - The 7 common abuses in the pre-reformation church. - Why Henry's divorce was regarded as necessary and was achieved, despite failed diplomacy. - How Anne Boleyn used her influence on the King. - The Key doctrinal and ceremonial issues. - How post supremacy radicals tried to motivate Henry. - The three problems inherent in understanding the use of the Bible. - Luther's 4 problems with the 7 sacraments. - The 5 other reasons for the dissolution of the monasteries. - The 3 elements of dissolution. - The 3 aspects of the influence of Edward Seymour. - The 7 aspects and 4 consequences of the 1547 injunctions. - The 7 aspects of Cranmer's (First) book of common prayer. - The 4 influences of John Dudley. - The coercion of the Bishops. - The role of Parliament under Dudley. - The importance of Lady Jane grey. - The 3 solid reasons that explain Jane and Dudley's failure. - The religious views of Mary 1st. - The assessment of the Spanish marriage and the three practical advantages for England. - The 3 religious aspects to the Wyatt's rebellion - Elizabeth 1 and the settlement. - ' Nosey' Parker and the 39 Articles. - The Vestiarian Controversy. - The Parliamentary response to the Ridolfi, Throckmorton and Babington plots. - The pope's 'contract' on Elizabeth 1. - The influence of the Douai priests and the Jesuits. - The 5 elements of structural change in English regions. The understanding of this period in English history contributes to our understanding of England today.
