Theology of the English reformers

A compendium of the teaching of the English Reformers on the important themes of Holy Scripture, justification, sanctification, preaching and worship, ministry, sacraments and Church and state. The author lets the Reformers speak for themselves, and this has involved the careful selection and organization of passages from a vast mass of material. The result is a book which will be invaluable as a work of reference not only to serious students of the theology of the sixteenth century in universities and theological colleges, but also to the busy clergyman and interested layman who is looking for a manageable and reliable guide in this important doctrinal field. They will find that in this book they are brought into close touch with the seminal minds and personalities of those great Christian leaders of four hundred years ago.
