Belief and practice in Reformation England

"This collection assembles twelve wide-ranging essays which present fresh interpretations of religious and social change in Reformation England, from the end of the Middle Ages to the seventeenth century. It presents new studies concerning the inculcation of Protestantism within the structure of the parishes, among the laity and throughout the institution of the English Church. The essays offer sophisticated analyses of the influence of theological debate, the impact of official religious policy and early print, and also the importance of doctrinal change, which create a mosaic of impressions of English religion in this particularly tumultuous time."--BOOK JACKET.
