Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life, Times, and Writings of Thomas Cranmer, D.D: The First Reforming Archbishop of Canterbury "It will be admitted by all who are in any degree acquainted with it, that there is no period of our history which is more interesting than that of the Reformation. And this is not merely considered in an Ecclesiastical, but in a Political and Philosophical point of view: and as bearing on our constitution, our laws, habits, modes of thought and action, on the whole history of our country since that time, and our own state and circumstances at the present day." Such was the utterance of the Rev. Dr Maitland. The name of Cranmer, as our first Reforming Archbishop, is necessarily connected with the history of that period. Whatever his personal merits or demerits may have been, we are mainly indebted to him for laying the foundation of that Reformation which entirely revolutionised the Ecclesiastical, Political, and Social position of this country. The "Life and Times of Cranmer," therefore, whatever individual opinions may be - whether for good or evil - must be of vital interest to every Englishman; but from the very nature of the subject, opinions will differ; especially where theological questions are involved. Cranmer stands the most prominent character in the history of the Reformation in this country, and has in consequence been equally the object of virulent attacks and of fulsome praise. To undertake the Biography of such a character, and to be entirely impartial, is difficult. It was Descartes who said that "the prime condition for discovering the truth is to be free from all prejudices."
